SOURCE: Microwave ahs power but doesn't heat.

The most common causes for a lack of heating are a bad door switch, a loose connection on the magnetron, a bad magnetron, bad connection on the control circuit board, a bad relay on the board, bad high voltage diode, or bad high voltage transformer.

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside. Its continuity must be checked.

Door switch or mount trouble can be caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.

If you or someone you know decide to look into it, we have critical information on safety, disassembly and door switches at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

If you think the problem is on the control panel, we repair these nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in most cases.

SOURCE: Whirlpool Over the Range Microwave won't heat

Yes, I'm trying to help you. Sorry about all the questions, but it's part of diagnosis.

Generally, the most common causes of a failure to heat are:

- bad door switches or door switch mounts
- loose or corroded connection at the magnetron
- problem or loose connection on the control unit circuit board
- bad magnetron
- shorted high voltage diode

At this point, it seems pretty clear that the problem is in the high voltage section, most likely the magnetron, but possibly the high voltage diode or transformer..

Here are some links you or someone you know can use for test help to find the defective component, but read their safety warnings first:

SOURCE: Microwave GE Model #JE1640WB - Makes noise when

Magnetron is done. This part heats the food. GE microwaves tend to have them stop working quite frequently. They basically make up the majority of the cost of the microwave, so instead of replacing the magnetron, you would be better off getting a new microwave.

When I type in the time to cook food, the microwave will run for about 2 seconds and then turn off and beeb 3 times. what causes that?

Boy, this sure sounds like a GE with a failing leaky magnetron, but that's not possible since you posted this under Whirlpool MH1160XS.

But it may still be a bad magnetron...

If your model is MH1160XS, then no.
