FIRST YOU CAN CHECK THE HIGH VOLTAGE AND HIGH VOLTAGE FUSE (IF THERE) and high voltage diode, capacitor, wiring of magnetron , finally high voltage is there may be magnetron, and check the filament wiring...

It is a Daewoo MicrowaveThe microwave does not heat up the food! It is only about 18 months.Tried to to re_set but nothing happens as the food remains frozen or cold!Anybody has any suggestions?

There are three parts that could be bad. One is a high voltage diode, another is a capacitor and the third is the magnetron itself. If you are not familiar with these terms, it is time for a new microwave oven.

Micro wave won't heat

Typical to magnetron failure. If you are not a qualified microwave technician, don't mess with it, take it to a service. Part is quite expensive so ask them for cost of repair before decicing if worth repair of buy new microwave

Sanyo EM-SL40S microwave everything seems to be working fine but food doesn't get hot?

see this causes and fix it. GOD BLESS YOU
Power Diode

A diode is an electronic component that readily passes current in one direction only and blocks the flow of current in the opposing direction. If your microwave's diode has become defective, your microwave will not heat and you will hear a buzzing noise. Test the diode to determine if this is the cause of your problem. Replace it if it is defective.


High Voltage Capacitor

A capacitor is an electrical device which stores electricity. A defective capacitor may be why your microwave is not heating but you are hearing a buzzing or humming noise. The capacitor will have to be tested to determine if this is the cause of your problem. A defective capacitor will have to be replaced before your microwave will work again. Make sure you discharge the capacitor before you test it, though.


Magnetron

A defective magnetron is the third possible cause of why your microwave is not heating, but you can hear a buzzing noise. Test your microwave's magnetron. Replace it if it is defective.


Thermoprotector If the microwave doesn't heat the thermoprotector may have tripped. This is a safety device to prevent the microwave from overheating. It can be tested for continuity to see if it's blown.

Main Control Board If the microwave doesn't heat the main control board may be defective. This is not common. When a microwave doesn't heat the problem is usually within the high voltage circuit; either the high voltage capacitor, diode, transformer or magnetron.
High Voltage Transformer If the microwave does not heat, the high voltage transformer might be burned out. Microwave ovens produce a very high voltage in order to power the magnetron antenna, which emits the energy that cooks the food.

My smeg microwave will not heat the food ...... possible causes

If everything else is working but it won't heat the food, the causes are the magnetron "common failure" or the high voltage capacitor and diode can be a factor, the three work together to heat the food. Depending on the nature of repair it can be close to the cost of a new microwave oven.

Daewoo over the range microwave model KOT-21OUB just stopped working for no apparent reason. Lights and fans still work. Not heating food. Worked for one dish then the next nothing.

how old is the machine, microwave ovens have a tendancy to do the ridiculous for no possible reason. a check of the main power fuse within the unit might help. it is a large fuse 10A> that supplies the transformers

Everything works except heat

Sounds like you've had a failure in the microwave portion of the unit.

Microwave not heating problems when the timer/controller board appears to function properly, are related to the following components -

1) Diode
2) Capacitor
3) Transformer
4) Magnetron
