Microwave Repair Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my microwave counting down but not heating my food?
Cold food despite countdown is caused by a burnt high-voltage magnetron tube or a blown high-voltage diode/fuse. Replacing the magnetron and diode restores full microwave power.
Why does my microwave trip the breaker when I open the door?
This is caused by misaligned or shorted door interlock microswitches designed to short out the circuit as a safety measure if opened while running. Replacing the switch trio fixes the problem.
