Common solutions for: Microwave not working

01 - Main Control Board
The main control board might be defective. However, this is rarely the case. Control boards are often misdiagnosed—check all of the more commonly defective parts. If you have determined that all of the other components are working properly,replace the main control board. (Caution: The microwave oven can store thousands of volts of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to repl...ace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the main control board.)

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.

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.
