If your appliance has absolutely no functions at all, remove it from the mains supply, remove the case and see where the mains lead goes in to the appliance and follow the cable until you find the main fuse.
ONLY USE THE SAME TYPE AND RATING OF FUSE TO REPLACE IT.
The usual cause of this fuse failure is the door switches are contaminated or sticking. Check the door switches before putting power back on to the appliance.

Otherwise,

The magnetron may have either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high voltage required to run it.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of repair.
Check the door interlock switches first then the high voltage diode with either an AVO model 8 on high resistance range for short circuit, the feed fuse on the primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.

Hope this helps.

Why won't heat on inside although hot air comes out on side of microwave?

The heat could be coming from the magnetron. they will still heat up even if not outputting any power. the magnetron is more than likely bad.

No Heat

The microwave sends out a strong radio frequency burst that vibrates the water molecules in your food and causes them to heat through friction.
No heat means no rays..means a new microwave! Cheaper than fixing..go to Craigs list

Oster microwave OM1101NOE wont heat carosel turns light is on time runs but not heat

There are three things to consider, the magnetron "heats food" high voltage diode "sometimes cracks" and the high voltage capacitor "sometimes shorts" one or more can cause the symptom of no heat. I recommend a professional to assess.

Timer functions, fan works, great humming noise, no heat. Magnetron??

If there is no heat at all, but you can hear the magnetron humming, it is probably bad. if there is uneven heat, the wave stirrer that distributes the microwaves around the cooking chamber may be bad. it will heat only one spot unless the wave stirrer is rotating.

I dont know how to use induction cooker.it has no numbers to reduce the heat.things will burn very fast

You can use to set the timing in order of the heat required. Also using the grade rating of the heating coupled with the time set, the food can be easily heated without burning.
To start with use low heat and long time, the try with medium heat and lesser time and then choose high heat and short time. You must be able to use the settings accordingg to your requirement.
Hope this advice helps
