My GE microwave/ convection over wont heat up. If you start it the timer will count down but the turn table won’t move, and the system doesn’t heat up. I have already tried replacing the magnetron, and the HV cap and Diode (per a professionals suggestion) and it still dosen’t work. Any suggestions or just bite the bullet and get a new one? It’s only 6 years old.
Hi @ehodeck1 , What is the model number of the microwave? Have you checked the door interlock switches to make sure that they’re all operatingOK? Usually there are 2 x N.O. (normally open) and 1 x N.C. (normally closed) when the door is open. They are a safety feature that monitors and connects power to the HV circuit (and possibly the motor circuit - depends on how the motor circuit is wired), so maybe that’s why there is no heat. i.e. when a door is opened the microwave is turned off to prevent harmful radiation escaping from the oven.
