Turning but not getting hot

sounds like you have your wires crossed

Hi,
if the turntable is getting hot it means that the microwave is working but as the turntable is not turning , it means the adjustment of the door lock of your microwave may have become improper due to use.may be it got damaged.
call the technician of samsung microwave ,he will open the cabinet of microwave and make the adjustment of door lock proper.
Thanks

Your magnetron is most likely out. This you should not fix yourself. If your not attached to the microwave i would suggest just get a new one.

Thank you for using FixYa,
There is no emergency switch to turn the microwave off if it gets too hot, but there are several fuses inside which may have "blown". If nothing is working at all i.e. no light , no turntable, no heat it sounds like the main fuse has gone. With the outer casing off, follow the main power cord into the microwave and within about 5 or 10 cm from where the cord enters there should be a fuse ( generally glass) the size of the fuse will be printed on the end caps of the fuse.

Well worth repairing.

Hope this helps

Hi

There should be a proximity door switch located somewhere around the edge of the door frame which should shut the light off when you close the door.

This could be 'sticking' on or is shorted out.

Try to locate the switch and press it in and out a few times, if that doesn't free it you will need a new switch.

you need to remove the outer cover,then carefully discharge the high voltage capacitor with 2 insulated screwdrivers or an insulated jumper wire,then test this and the high voltage diode and the internal ceramic fuse for continuity

Sounds pretty normal but the inside is not supposed to get hot - only the food is.

Try heating a half glass of water for 1 minute if it gets hot... its working - if not then the actual microwave generating device inside has probably died.
In that case buy a new microwave oven as the cost of parts and labour to repair is usually more than cost of buying a new one.,

give more time

is the turntable working

You didnt mention if the oven worked or not. Its not blowing the fuse?? Ok it could be as simple as the Diode or capacitor but dont try to touch the capacitor terminals as it holds a nice charge.. Turn on the oven for a bit with a cup of water inside and let it run for a few minutes. If you start to see smoke pull the plug right away!!!!! If you dont let the water boil(about 2 to 3 minutes thyen unplug and carefully fell around for a HOT part, But dont touch any electrical connections! If theres something drawing to much current it will get hot. Ive had bad capacitors bad and causes the transformer to get too hot. as well as bad magnatrons cause the transformer to get to hot. I would recomend that you take this unit in to be diagnoised as there are alot of voltage in this oven as I ststed before and it is dangerous for a handyperson to be fiddling with it. Good Luck
