The microwave works but does not heat — this is the most common malfunction addressed to repair services. The signs of a breakdown are as follows: the light inside is on, the plate is spinning, but the microwave does not heat the food.
Understanding the dilemma
- Voltage problems or network overload. The microwave oven is not particularly picky, but it also reacts to voltage problems. The microwave will not heat properly if:
- There is insufficient voltage in the power grid.
- Network overload. Overloading the network can occur if the user connects two powerful electrical appliances to one outlet. To rectify the situation, only leave the microwave connected. Perhaps after doing so, it will be able to heat food properly.
- Door breakage. A working microwave will not operate with the door open. When the door is closed, the contact is engaged, allowing the appliance to heat food. The operation of the mechanism is visible after removing the case cover. The latch on the door may break during movement.
- Blocking the ventilation system. In this case, heat may dissipate initially, but eventually, the microwave will stop heating. Adequate air circulation is necessary for the device to function properly. Without it, components may overheat, causing the appliance to shut off. This protective mechanism prevents breakdowns. To restore the microwave’s functionality, allow it to cool down, remove any obstructions hindering cooling, and then turn it on again.
- Capacitor failure. The capacitor is a component that can store electric current.
The reliable operation of household appliances depends on users’ technical competence. After purchasing a microwave, it’s essential to read the instructions thoroughly. If you handle the device with care, it’s unlikely that you’ll need to repair the microwave or search for reasons why it’s not heating in the near future.
