Microwave repair. Common problems.

Microwave is a commonly used kitchen appliance these days. Like any other household appliance a microwave  fails and breaks. Here are some common faults with your microwave:

Microwave does not heat

Microwave not heating is a very common problem. Most popular issue behind this problem is magnetron failure. A magnetron consumes high voltage to produce microwave frequency to cook food. If the microwave is running empty, this can cause the magnetron to burn out. A failed magnetron must be replaced as it is immpossible to repair. Other probable causes behind this issue are faulty diodes, capacitor, defective door switch and transformer.

Microwave runs and stops

Possible causes behind this problem are failing door switch, transformer, touch pad and  fan motor.

Microwave buttons do not work

If the microwave buttons do not work that indicates the touch-pad or the control panel are bad and have been damaged.  Another probable cause can be defective control board.

Microwave  plate does not spin

Microwave has little rotating motor below the plate which is responsible for the rotation of plate. The most probable cause behind this problem is faulty motor or worn out plastic spinner between the plate and motor. Motor and spinner can be easily replaced. However, if the motor is not faulty, it indicates a fault in the main control board. If the control board is good then check touch pad or control panel for the issue.

Microwave light-bulb does not turn on during operation

There is a little bulb inside your microwave located behind the grill, which lights when the microwave runs. If the bulb does not work then it may have burnt. Some other possible reasons are faulty bulb socket and bad wiring.  If the bulb, socket and wiring are good then check the door switch and main control board.  Switch or control board may have gone bad and fails to send voltage to bulb socket.

Sparking inside microwave

Sparking inside microwave is common and does not indicate that your microwave has gone bad. It requires you to immediately switch off your microwave and perform the necessary inspection. Possible reasons behind this problem are damaged wave guide cover,  damaged rack support, diode burn or worn out paint from the inside walls.
