Microwave Not Heating

What this symptom can mean

No-heat conditions can involve power, heating components, ignition, sensors, airflow, or controls.

Safe checks

Confirm settings and power. For gas appliances, stop if you smell gas.

Information worth noting

Write down when the symptom began, whether it is constant or intermittent, any error code, unusual sound or odor, and whether the appliance still completes part of its normal function.

When to request repair help

If safe first checks do not resolve the issue, the problem repeats, or electrical, gas, water, heat, or mechanical risks are involved, professional diagnosis may be appropriate.
