My Emerson MW8119SBM 1000W microwave was working fine till last night, when all of sudden the turning table stopped though the interior light and countdown clock was working fine. Now, when I push the start button, the light turns on, clock works fine but table does not turn and there is no heating. Please advice. Thanks.

Generally, the most common causes of a failure to heat are:

- bad door switches or door switch mounts
- loose connection at the magnetron
- problem or loose connection on the control unit circuit board
- bad magnetron or other high voltage part (such as a shorted diode)

The fact that the turntable stopped running is an even stronger indication that you have a door switch related problem.

If you or a friend decide to look into it, we have critical safety information, info on door switch diagnosis and replacement, and disassembly information at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

When I opened up the microwave cover, noticed that the door latch mechanism was worn and not holding up the interlock switch. A thick piece of tape on the worn piece of plastic and microwave was back to working (I had symptom of the timer counting down without the microwave turning on)
