Einleitung

Here I fix a microwave oven. Never tried it before, but ended up with a successful fix. So anyone with some common sense and a 'go do it' attitude can do the same.

The video goes through diagnosing and testing the likely parts that might fail in a microwave oven and then replacing them.

    • Don't forget to read the video description on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/WAf18e8sW4E

    • Be sensible! Take precautions like not powering it up uncovered, allowing time for high voltages to discharge. See the video description on YouTube and take note of safety advice. Don't be afraid, but just be sensible.

Abschluss

A standard microwave oven is actually a simple device comprising of a transformer, diode, capacitor, a fuse and the magnetron valve. All can be tested and replaced to fix a non heating oven. Watch the video.

That star screw head is actually called a Torx security screw, the pin in the middle is what makes it a security screw. A mating Torx bit or driver of the appropriate size. You can buy a set of them or a combination set with standard from GearBest from the UK. They are fairly common in the U.S. In Dollars, they cost around 8.00-20.00. eBay is a good source, also. Thank you for enlightening me on what to look for and expect. My 15-year-old Panasonic has been flawless, until tonight.

My microwave is running for only 3 seconds then it stops, but the on light will be on.

When you press start again it starts running, and runs for only 3 seconds again.

What are the possible causes?

I have no tools and only want to give a non-functioning LG microwave oven to someone who will fix it and resell it. I have bought a new Whirlpool. I in San Luis Obispo, CA. Model number LMV2031ST.

It is only 3 years old and had light duty.

Once before there was a loose connector and that cost $100 to repair. Labor charges are more now.....ugh.
