My CECOTEC microwave does not heat, is it a problem with the magnetron?

My CECOTEC microwave does not heat, is it a magnetron problem? – Causes and Solutions

When your CECOTEC microwave stops heating food, one of the most common problems may be related to the magnetron , the part responsible for generating the microwaves that heat the food. In this post we explain how to detect if the magnetron is failing and how you can solve it with original CECOTEC spare parts available at CECOPARTS .

What is the magnetron and how do you know if it is failing?

The magnetron is the heart of any microwave, as it is the component responsible for converting electrical energy into microwaves that heat the food. If the magnetron is damaged, the microwave may work (the light comes on, the plate spins), but the food will not heat up. Here are some symptoms that could indicate that the magnetron is failing:

1. Microwave works, but food is not heating : If you hear the typical microwave humming sound, but your food remains cold, the magnetron has probably failed.

2. Strange noises during operation : A faulty magnetron may make unusual sounds, such as louder humming or clicking sounds.

3. Burning smell or sparks inside the microwave : If you notice a burning smell or sparks, stop use immediately, as the magnetron may be overheated or damaged.

4. The microwave turns off by itself : If the appliance turns off before the heating cycle is complete, the magnetron may be overloaded.

Is the magnetron always the culprit? Other possible causes

Although the magnetron is one of the most common causes of the CECOTEC microwave not heating , there are other components that may also be failing:

• High voltage diode : This component works together with the magnetron to generate the microwaves. A defective diode can prevent heating.
• Thermal Fuse : If the microwave overheats, the thermal fuse may have tripped to cut off the power.
• Damaged Mica Plate : The mica plate protects the magnetron from grease and food residue. If it is dirty or damaged, it can interfere with the operation of the magnetron.
