01 · BEFORE BOOKING

A simple check.

Check that the microwave is in a cooking mode, not a timer-only or demonstration mode. Follow the model manual and never run it empty.

02 · UNDERSTAND THE SYMPTOM

What it could mean.

Several internal components can cause a no-heat condition. Symptoms alone cannot identify which one has failed.

03 · THE NEXT STEP

When diagnosis helps.

I assess the fault, model and installation type to discuss whether repair makes sense compared with replacement.

This is general guidance, not a diagnosis of your appliance. Follow the owner’s manual for your exact model. Internal electrical, gas and refrigerant work belongs with a qualified professional.
