Ramtons Microwave oven model RM/320 with “no heating symptoms” now repaired,

I received a microwave from a customer who wanted it checked by a technician,

The complaints were the microwave was working well in terms of setting time and everything but after going through the process, It could not heat the food.

This problem from my experience it is used caused by failure in one or more components of the high voltage circuit.

These incudes, magnetron, high voltage capacitor, high voltage diode, High voltage fuse or high voltage transformer.

ARMCO Microwave oven came in dead now repaired!

I received this microwave from a client who wanted it checked by a technician.

Initial test indicated the machine was totally dead, I opened it and tested the power supply fuse and found it okay.

Next, I checked the control panel and found inductor L101 was open, I followed that line and noted it was feeding IC100(NK364PN) and therefore suspected it could be shorted.

Von Hotpoint microwave model HMG-202DB with “no heating problem” now repaired.

I received this microwave from my neighbor who wanted it checked by a technician.

The owner told me that there was a loud bang and since that time they set it aside (store) and were planning to buy another one since they considered the issue as beyond repair.

I took it with me to my shop and once I applied the power I noted it was powering on well, I placed a glass full of water and hit express button and after 30 seconds I checked the water and found it was still cold.

I then decided to open up the machine and do some troubleshooting.

Daewoo microwave oven model KOC-9Q5T came in dead now repaired.

 I got a direct message on my Facebook account from a client who wanted her microwave checked by a technician.

 

I gave her my pin location and within an hour she was at my shop via uber.

First I wanted to confirm what the customer said was the symptoms of making noise while warming food but realized the machine was totally dead.

I opened the oven and went straight to the main fuse and found it there but next to it was a huge jumper wire which was also open.

How microwave oven works

Microwave oven popularly known as a microwave was invented by an American scientist Percy Spencer in 1958 by accident.


The use for microwaves as the preferred mode of cooking/warming food in seconds has become a preferred mode of cooking food by most families.

So how does the microwave work? First let me say that microwaves, unlike other cooking methods like gas and electric coils cook food using frequency.
