You just put the food in the microwave and the dish surface heats up as well as the food. Microwave heating work by heating the water molecules in the food. The dish contains a metallic content on the base which heats up. You can also preheat the dish and drop food into it so it starts sizzling straight away.
You can either choose to select the SET levels for the heat which can be a direct button or you can select the power button and scroll up or down the settings. Also the weight of the food must be chosen to be effective for the heat. Click on Microwave
The most common cause of the problem you described is a burned fuse. It is normally located inside the case, directly on a wire leading from the transformator to the magnetron. If you are not sure about those parts, please get a professional to fix the issue.
If the food is not being heated you will need to have the oven checked by a service center technician. Your oven has a device called a magnetron which generates microwaves which heat the food. It could be the magnetron itself which is faulty or another component which works alongside the magnetron.
There is a tube I believe, in microwaves that produce the waves that heat the food. A fan usually disperses the waves to make the heating more even, rather than cooking one spot and leaving the rest cold or frozen.
Replace it. Cheaper than the fix, unless it is only the fan. But you still have to take it in, and there will be a service charge on top of the parts replacement.
Grass...I'd go for checking the fuses and the thermosensor...a black plastic button with two wires coming out of it that is about the diameter of a dime and 3/8 inch thick. If either is open, no power to the magnetron. Your unit may have a diagram inside. Have a look. The magnetron...? I doubt it.
