Common solutions for: Microwave not working

01 - Thermostat

If the microwave overheats, the thermostat trips to cut off voltage to the microwave. If the thermostat is shorted open, it may not allow voltage to reach the high voltage components. To determine if the thermostat is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for electrical continuity. If the thermostat does not have continuity, and it cannot be reset, replace it.

Highly Likely

02 - Incoming Power Problem

The electrical outlet may not be getting power. To determine if the outlet is getting power, try plugging something else into the outlet. If the outlet is not getting power, check the home circuit breakers or fuses.

Highly Likely

03 - Power reset

After a power surge or power outage, appliance operation could be temporarily affected. Full operation can sometimes be restored through a power reset by either unplugging the unit's power cord for a few minutes and then plugging it back in or switching off the circuit breaker for the microwave then switching it back on.
