Kenmore Microwave Not Heating Up Food

This is the part that makes the heat to cook the food.

Kenmore microwave not heating up food.

If the diode burns out the magnetron won t receive enough voltage to operate preventing the microwave from heating. This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food. Lights timer display all work. This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food.

My kenmore microwave is not heating. When the voltage drops below 215 volts the microwave does not heat the food well enough. A microwave that does not heat up may have a broken magnetron. The easiest way to determine whether your microwave is failing is to try to heat a food item.

How to test microwave magnetron with a multimeter. Br i have a kenmore microwave 790 83337710. If it is broken it may blow a fuse in your microwave which could lead to other components failing. If the voltage is normal then it s time to replace the magnetron with a new one.

When i push start it sounds like it working but the turntable doesn t move and it doesn t heat. When the diode fails it is often visibly burned out. A new and better video update for the previous one where i explain how to fix your microwave that works but doesn t heat. Easiest fix you can find.

The diode converts the a c power output of the transformer to d c doubling the voltage to nearly 5 000 volts. The diode converts the a c power output of the transformer to d c doubling the voltage to nearly 5 000 volts.
