My FMV156EM just stopped cooking one day. The timer will count down, but the motor won't run and cook. If I press on the door, the fan starts up and timer counts down, but yet again it doesn't cook. Any suggestions?? Do I get a new microwave or get it fixed?
Quite often this is due to a bad door switch. Opening the door while cooking (without first hitting the STOP pad) is the primary cause of door switch failure. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info (as well as a text file which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems) at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

I have the same exact problem with my microwave
I have the same problem with a similar model FMV156DX. For a day, it seemed to work intermittently if the door was pushed up while closed. Now it doesn't work at all. I suspected the switch. Oven does emit a click sound, but doesn't begin to "cook". Timer counts down regardless.
We have microwave FMV156DB and found that it just stopped cooking. We can get it to work by holding door in and up. We feel it is the door switches, we have had the panel off and looked at the switches but they seem to be in place properly. We will try the advice offered here and get a new switch fitted. Will let you know if it works
I have the same problem??????
I replaced the switch. It is most likely the magnetron, which is a lot more costly.
I have the exact same problem.Â
Any word on what the fix is?Â
I have this same issue. The timer will run, but it won't cook.
LG LMV2053SB microwave runs normally for 45 seconds (exactly, every time) then stops heating. The fan runs and timer counts down as normal but heating of food stop. It has done this since day 1..
When cooking the timer doesn't count down correctly takes a long time for seconds to change
lights on, timer counts down, seems to work until you push start and it just "clicks" and does not go on to reheat or cook. Otherwise looks normal. I am wondering if it is a fuse since the keypad works and the lights are all on and it beeps as it does when it has completed cooking or reheating
Our microwave just counts down time but won't cook. It is an Emerson Professional Series, model #MW8115SS.
Cook timer counts down, and it beeps but will not cook
