Microwave Oven Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Unfortunately when the microwave stops heating and everything else still works, this means your magnetron shorted out. The magnetron is the part that heats the food and also is the most expensive part. It is almost cheaper to buy a new microwave and taking into account the hassle of replacing the magnetron, I recommend just getting a new microwave. Let me know if you need anything else.

The magnetron (the part that heats the food) may be bad or the circuitry to the magnetron may have burned out. Basically my advice is that if you have no electrical expertise, it isn't worth fixing. The magnetron if bad, costs almost as much as a new microwave. If you open it up (make sure it has been unplugged for a few hours and don't seen any obvious burnt parts (including a fuse and the diodes), then most likely the magnetron is done and a new microwave is the way to go.

Let me know how this works out for you.

my microwave oven just stopped heating giving me a f9 error .lights are on clock is working and the panel is ok.

Generally the magnetron (the part that heats the food) is the cause if everything else still works. Unfortunately replacing the magnetron is barely cheaper than buying a new microwave though you can check out repairclinic.com to decide whether you want to attempt replacing the part.

Let me know how this works out for you.

My wife cannot wait forever for me to solve the problem with our Microwave....so I nhad to bite the bullet and take it in to LG for repairs.

Thanks for the good site

More than likely the magnatron has failed,it is the heating source for microwave and usualy has 5 year warranty so it would be worth calling company about this. They will hve service company repair at no cost to you.
