My Ge Microwave Stopped Heating

I replaced the capacitor magnetron diode and power switch yet my ge profile microwave still won t heat food.

My ge microwave stopped heating. If the microwave runs but is not heating it could be one of many components. A new and better video update for the previous one where i explain how to fix your microwave that works but doesn t heat. If it is broken it may blow a fuse in your microwave which could lead to other components failing. A microwave that does not heat up may have a broken magnetron.

My microwave is not heating but the timer is working. Check to ensure the door is closed firmly. The diode converts the a c power output of the transformer to d c doubling the voltage to nearly 5 000 volts. This is the part that makes the heat to cook the food.

The magnetron is not repairable if the magnetron is burned out you must replace it. The microwave oven can store a lethal amount of electricity in its high voltage capacitor even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Guy my microwave stopped working no power no nothing i looked up on the we bthe most is 3 00 fuse i don t mind buying a 3 00 fuse if it s going to fix the 100 00 microwave otherwise that s it s far i m gonna go. I have a ge profile and everything worked but it would not heat.

Make sure the timer function was not inadvertently used. If the magnetron burns out the microwave won t heat. If the diode burns out the magnetron won t receive enough voltage to operate preventing the microwave from heating. Ge microwave not heating.

What else should i check. Add a comment. This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food. How to test microwave magnetron with a multimeter.

Microwave runs but does not heat. Ge microwave troubleshooting the table lists possible simple malfunctions of the microwave oven and methods for their correction available to virtually all users who do not have special knowledge in electronics. The high voltage diode is located near the magnetron and the high voltage capacitor so access will require removal of the cabinet. This component helps provide the high voltage that powers the magnetron.

This confirms the engagement of the door s safety mechanisms. You may think its working but food doesn t heat up. Close it firmly but do not slam.
