Common Microwave Repair Problems

Here are some common problems that can occur with microwaves that may require repair:

  • The microwave is not heating food: This can be caused by a faulty magnetron, a problem with the high voltage diode, or a malfunctioning control board.
  • The microwave is making strange noises: This can indicate a problem with the turntable motor, a worn out roller guide or a faulty transformer.
  • The microwave is not responding to controls: This can be caused by a problem with the control panel, a malfunctioning touchpad, or a faulty control board.
  • The microwave is leaking: This can be caused by a problem with the door seal, a malfunctioning door switch or a faulty diode.
  • The microwave’s light doesn’t turn on: This can indicate a problem with the light bulb or the light switch.
  • The microwave is not rotating: This can be caused by a problem with the turntable motor, worn out roller guide or a damaged coupler
  • The door doesn’t open or close properly: This can be caused by a problem with the door latch or the door hinges.
  • The interior of the microwave is too hot: This can indicate a problem with the cooling fan, the high-voltage diode, or the control board.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it’s best to contact a professional repair technician for assistance.
