It sounds like the magnetron may have
either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high
voltage required to run it.
YOUR
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT
This is a job for a professional but if
you are safety clued up, here's instruction.
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 or moving coil meter on
high resistance range for short circuit, (DVM's won't show the
fault!), the capacitor can fail and go 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.

test.
A
simple safety test.
Place 1/2 litre of water in a glass container.
Measure the temperature of the water.
Place in microwave and heat
on full power for 1minute.
Measure the temperature after it has
stood for 1minute.
If the temperature difference is more than 9
degrees Celcuis the magnetron is working and producing about 700Watts
of heat.
If your microwave is labelled with 900 or 1000Watts. That
is about right.
If the temperature is less then the magnetron is
not working properly and may need replacing.
This
a only a rough guide and any doubts you should consult an authorised
service agent.

Unplug it. Take off the metal cover. Look for a fuse. Probably blown, replace it with same size. If it blows again, scrape it.
My new LG solardome MA3884vc overheats melamine plate @30 seconds
If your LG Solardome microwave oven is overheating a melamine plate within 30 seconds, there could be a few potential issues at play:
- Power Settings: Check to see if the power settings on your microwave are too high. If it's set to a high power level, it can cause certain materials, like melamine, to overheat quickly. Try reducing the power level and see if that helps.
- Plate Material: Melamine plates are not suitable for use in microwave ovens as they can overheat and potentially release harmful chemicals into your food. It's recommended to use microwave-safe dishes made of glass, ceramic, or microwave-safe plastic.
- Microwave Performance: If the microwave is consistently overheating items within such a short time frame, it might indicate a malfunction. In this case, it's best to contact LG customer support or a certified technician to inspect and repair the microwave.
- Placement and Usage: Ensure that the plate is placed centrally on the turntable and not touching the sides of the microwave. Also, avoid using the microwave for extended periods without interruption, as this can cause overheating.
- Testing with Different Materials: Try using a microwave-safe ceramic or glass plate to see if the issue persists. If other materials heat up quickly as well, it could indicate a problem with the microwave itself.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Building Materials to LG Microwave.
Take into an LG Service centre for repair. They are sealed by security screws and are dangerous inside. You won't be able to get parts.. If it is a counter top microwave and cost $60, just buy a new one as they are a disposable item.
