Hi

Please check if any fuse is blown inside the microwave. If the fuses are fine then the issue is with the Magnetron of the microwave, it may be faulty or may have loose connections. If the Magnetron is faulty then you can get it replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

If one of the door interlock switches is not switching properly, that can cause the turntable/light to come on eventhough the "Starts" button has not been depressed due to the wiring of the switches.
Check for faulty door switches and/or contaminated actuators.
I hope that helps.

The HMV9305 has an automatic vent turn-on feature. It senses heat, possibly from the oven or range beneath, and turns on the exhaust fan until temps return to normal. Sometimes this may take 4-5 minutes, which can seem like an eternity of listening to the blower run, but it is a safety feature designed to prevent damage to the microwave from excessive heat generated by the cooktop or oven beneath it.

Sounds like you blew the fuse. I have a tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r4223574-microwave_oven_will_not_heat which explains the problem, how to correct it and where to get any parts. Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the generous rating.

I just bought the same microwave, and mine is doing the same thing. Did you ever figure out if it was the oven or the outlet? My old microwave works just fine.

Hi, if your microwave oven does not heat/defrost. then the magnetron has failed and got spoilt.

I will advice you to contact Bosch to find their nearest authorized service center.

If it's less than one year old, it should be fully covered under warranty. I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to get it fixed free.

If it's within the magnetron portion of the warranty (usually 5-9 years) but out of the original full warranty (usually 1 year), then your manufacturer will cover the part cost, but not the cost to visit you or the labor charge to do the work.

Take care

Replace the magnetron: capacitor and HV diode. That will solve the problem.

You have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo) and then you'll see the previously hidden screws you need to remove.

Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) that demonstrates how it's done.

You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

The mounting plate is screwed to the back of the unit. Also here is the installation instructions.

Sounds like your magnetron has failed and was going bad for some time.

You need the "Some Other Solution". Do Not mess with the MW Door Hinges! They have been set by the factory to safety requirement to prevent MW Radiation Leakage. Altering Door Hinge could place you and your Family in harm.

I don't have the manual but there should be a temperature setting for the fan to come on.

I pressed Start/Enter and Clear/Off simultaneously for 3-5 seconds and it exited DEMO mode for me.

to decide on that take it in to a repair shop to determine the cause of the sparking it could be a major problem or missing insulation so a proper diagnosis and quote will make it easier to decide
