The turntable spins and the light comes on, but food comes out cold — that points to the magnetron or another high-voltage part having failed.

Arcing inside the microwave points to metal, a scorched waveguide cover, or damage to the cavity itself. Stop using it until you've found the cause.

A turntable that refuses to rotate means uneven heating. The cause is usually simple: a misaligned tray, a worn coupler, or a dead motor.

A microwave that's totally dead — no display, no lights — is usually down to power, the door switch, or a blown internal fuse.

A loud hum or buzz, especially paired with weak heating, usually traces to a failing magnetron or a fan motor on its way out.

A door that won't close or latch keeps the microwave from running at all — that's the safety interlock system doing its job. Here's what to check.
