After pushing the start button (or preset buttons) the light inside comes on and the timer display counts down, but the turntable does not move and the oven does not come on (heat).

Solution: We discovered that a door adjustment needed to be made. Now we have to figure that out.

Had the same problem--the timer would even count down. The magnetron fan would not turn on, and the microwave would not heat. Checked out several components, but ended up being just the door latch out of adjustment! Be sure to discharge the capacitor before messing around in there. It keeps a charge even when unplugged. Short out the unused terminal on the capacitor to a screw in the chassis, using a short length of insulated wire.

Will not heat

If everything else is working fine, the magnetron is the likely problem, "heats food and is the heart of the microwave oven" if more than five years old cheaper to replace the whole item.

Everything works but food does not heat up I have a ge over the range microwave

If everything seems to work, except cooking the food it is probably the magnetron which sells for $100-$150 for the part alone.

Lg 700 w microwave everything is working as normal but the food is not heating up

There three parts that will cause this, the first is the magnetron "heats food" the most expensive part, followed by the high voltage capacitor and diode, they work in conjunction to generate the high voltage to cook the food.

Microwave runs but food does not heat

If everything appears to work as normal but does not heat, then the magnetron will be faulty. This is the device which cooks the food, however this can be an expensive part to replace & may not be economical to fix.

The microwave runs but doesn't cook the food. It made sort of vibrating noise and stopped heating. Everything else seems to be working.

HI. this is called Magnetron failure. you will need to replace this failed device. it is responsible for the heating of the contents.

Everything works except the cooking part/no heating/turntable not turning, help!

you may have gotten a power surge and that can cause some funny things to happen, 1st is there power to the oven, 2nd if so there may be an internal fuse protector built in to the oven, check with the manual for anything of that sort listed. if not you may have to take it in and have it repaired by a pro. there is a lot of voltage in these ovens and unless you know what you are doing a person could get hurt

Everything works...Except for actually heating the food

It has a bad magnetron. This is the tube that provides the microwaves to heat the food. Not too easy to replace yourself but it can be done. Cost of magnetron is probably less than $50 or $60.
