In this article we give you a few pointers to help locate the fault in your microwave without getting technical.

Remember microwave ovens can be very dangerous. Even when unplugged they can store a lethal charge and have the capacity to explode if not handled correctly. Only individuals qualified in the relevant fields should attempt to dismantle, test and repair a microwave oven. If you are not qualified, do not attempt to fix your microwave oven yourself.

Food is not heating & buzzing noise present

The obvious thing to check yourself is that you have the microwave on the correct power setting and timer.

If you have checked the above and still are experiencing these symptoms you may have a faulty magnetron. These symptoms will also present themselves if your microwave oven diode is at fault, however the magnetron is usually the first port of call for a repairer in this situation. This is not a job you can carry out yourself.

Ever wonder why a person just has to have that first cup of coffee in the morning? Do they ask themselves ridiculous questions trying to rationalize the enjoyment and the excitement of that first cup. Questions like, am I addicted to the caffeine or the gourmet coffee flavor? Has the brain gone out the window? Is it habit, or just something a person does before letting the family pet out in the morning. Does it really matter if one has this wonderful starting fluid every day? Will one die without it? Could one possibly strangle the children during the frenzy of getting ready for school if they don’t have that first cup? Are we getting every possible antioxidant we can stuff in for the day in one cup? If there is any left over, would the plants like a buzz today? Or, how can the left over coffee be used in a facial? That’s silly, there won’t be any left over! Would decaf be best for me this morning? That’s silly, we’re addicted to the caffeine! Which flavor this morning? Coffee or coffee? Pointless questions like these so early in the morning can fuzzy up the entire day!
