More than likely the magnetron has failed. This could be for a number of reason. Do you use your microwave to heat wheat packs or warm plates? If so, you may have dried the magnetron out (they use the moisture in whatever you're cooking to heat it, and plates/wheat bags have no moisture).

I'd say a trip to your local Microwave repairer could be in order. It could also be the High Voltage Fuse which has failed. Either way a repairer will be able to tell you!

    High Voltage Fuses aren't quite as expensive as a Magnetron, but it all depends on the brand and model number.

Why Does My Sharp Microwave Turntable Get Hot?

I hope you didn't run the microwave with nothing in the cavity, if you did, it will damage the magnetron.
The turntable dishes do get hot depending on the quality of the glass used to make it. Heat is caused by impurities in the glass.
If you run it with no food in the oven, the glass will try to absorb the energy with atastrophic results usually.

No instuctions on how to brown or sautee food----------how do you brown food???? very disapointed in manuel

Browning and sauteing food really depends upon the type of oven you have. If it is a microwave oven only then there are speciic food containers that are designed to get hot. If a convection type oven then the grill browns the food.

My ifb microwave oven is getting hot outside while

Normally when u cook food in microwave the fod is cooked by microwaves, which means the heat is generated with in food. The temperature inside is never too hot and all the heat produced is absorbed with in the food.

On the other hand when the grill is switched on, a separate heatting element gets switched on. You can see this red hot element on the top side of inside of microwave. the heat from this element gets transferred to food through air circulation. But partof heat also gets transferred to the walls of microwave oven. This is the reason the wall feel hot during use of grill.

As i see ther is no problem with the microwave itself. Jut kep delicate thngs a bit away from the microwave.

It doesn't heat the food

OK i would advise to check the fan operations. make sure that the blower assembly(fan) is operating correctly. poor circulation can cause this as well as a faulty thermostat. If the fan is not operating, this will damage the entire system. replace the fan if it isn't working. check the filter as well.
