Generic problem for all Kenmore Microwave

Kenmore Over range Microwave Oven not heating and making a loud humming noise and burning smell

Answer This Question
  • Anonymous Mar 19, 2014

    I just recently bought a 1.8 cu ft Kenmore Elite over the range convection microwave oven. The microwave works great, but when I use it as a convection oven, It emits a strong burning plastic or electrical fire scent. The exhaust is in recirculation mode. It only occurs when heating by convection.I returned it to the store in exchange for a new one and the same thing happened. Is this normal? Will this go away?

We were using the microwave the other night and it started making a loud noise like the fan was running (although the fan was not). We let it sit for awhile and try to use it again but the noise came...
The loud noise and no heat means that the magnetron has failed. It the part that generates the microwaves that heat the food. When it fails it shorts out, causing the transformer to heat up. That is what was causing the burning smell. The cost of a replacement magnetron is around $130-150 range so it may not make sense to have it fixed.

My Kenmore 721.626222 which I have had about 6 years, runs but does not heat. There is also a strange smell - something like a burning smell.
When the oven does not heat, the problem is usually due to the magnetron failing. It the part that generates the microwaves that heat the food. It fails by shorting out causing a loud buzzing noise. The burning smell is the being magnetron overloaded due to the short. It not worth fixing since the replacement cost of a magnetron is close to the price of a new oven. Sorry.

The microwave is making a loud humming noise when it is on and it isn't heating. It also has a burning smell. We had this microwave repaired replacing the magnetron and diode in Jan. 2006.
sounds like same problem again.... the magnetron is what does the heating and if the display is working and just humming sounds like the mag is not coming on .... could be the capacitor but most likely the magnetron again..... i am a appliance /heating and air company out of texas we work on these things everyday and is very common problem... thanks a/c and heating unlimited good luck

If you can remove it look for burnt areas which may can be scraped off or you may need to replace it. An appliance parts store usually has the material you can cut to fit you own.

GE Spacemaker XL1800(JVM1850CF001) - Loud Humming noise
You either have a bad magnetron tube (5 or 10 year parts warranty item through GE Factory Service 1-800-432-2737 or www.geappliances.com) or a shorted high voltage rectifier. I think the light being out is a secondary problem.
