Runs but no heat
The high voltage side has failed while the controls work, which is why it looks normal.
Door switch first, then diode, then magnetronRuns the full time and leaves the food cold. The turntable turning and the light coming on tell you nothing about whether the magnetron is still producing anything. Some faults are cheap. Some are not worth doing, and we say which.
Fault not listed? Describe it on the booking form and our coordinator will match the right engineer.
Knowing which one you have is what keeps the diagnosis short and the bill honest.

Door switch first, then diode, then magnetronThe waveguide cover has soaked up grease and burnt through, and now it arcs.
Stop using it. Cover replaced before more damageTwo or three interlock switches must agree the door is shut. They wear out fastest.
Switches tested and replaced. Cheapest common faultThe three things households complain about in this trade, dealt with before the engineer opens anything.
You hear one figure covering parts and labour. It does not move once you approve it, and a second fault gets priced separately.
We fit parts from approved suppliers and write the number on your sheet, so you can check it against the maker's catalogue.
Every finished job carries a warranty period on our labour and the part supplied, printed on the sheet we hand over.
Have the model number from the rating plate ready, plus any code on the display. That decides which parts go into the van.
Brand, model and the fault. We confirm a slot that suits your day.
Panels off, components measured. Nothing is replaced on a guess.
One figure for parts and labour. Work starts only when you say yes.
A full cycle runs while you watch, and you keep the service sheet.
An over the range microwave also extracts over your hob, and its grease filter loads fast in a kitchen cooking daily. A unit humming louder than it used to, or running hot, is often fighting a blocked filter rather than failing. That is a clean, not a repair.
What UAE conditions do to appliancesHouseholds who booked this repair and told us how the visit went.
Fix My Appliance is an independent repair company and is not an authorised agent for any manufacturer.
Send the model number and a photograph of anything on the display. There is no charge for the answer.
This is the one appliance where we regularly advise against the repair. A magnetron can cost more than a new countertop machine, and a cavity damaged by arcing cannot be made safe at any price. We will say so. It is also not one to open at home, because the capacitor holds its charge long after the plug is out.
Depends on the part. Door switches, a turntable motor or a waveguide cover are cheap and worth doing. A magnetron on a budget countertop model usually is not.
Most often the waveguide cover on the cavity wall. Stop using it at the first spark, because carrying on burns the wall behind it.
The heating side has failed and the controls have not. Order of likelihood is door switch, diode, then magnetron, and cost runs the same way.
No. The catch holds the switches that stop it running with the door open. Leave it unplugged until the latch is replaced.
Repair, installation and maintenance run through the same coordinator and the same service record.
