What to do if my LG MS-2042W produces little heat?
If your LG microwave oven seems to be operating but produces little heat, it could be due to: * Power source voltage lower than 90% with load. It is suggested to contact your local electric power utility company or a qualified electrician. * A defective PCB assembly. You should replace the PCB assembly. * A defective magnetron. You should replace the magnetron.
What to do if LG MS-2042W display is on but it won't start?
If the display of your LG microwave oven shows all figures set, but the oven does not start cooking, even with the program times set and the START pad touched, it could be due to: * A defective secondary switch, which should be replaced. * A defective PCB assembly, which should be replaced. * A loose connection, which should be connected tightly. * A defective fan motor, which should be replaced. * A defective oven lamp, which should be replaced.
Why is my LG MS-2042W sparking?
Sparks might occur in your LG microwave oven due to several reasons: * Using metallic ware or allowing it to touch the oven wall. To resolve this, avoid using metallic ware unless specifically allowed in the cooking guide. * Using ceramic ware trimmed with gold or silver powder. Refrain from using cookware with metallic trimming. * Uneven cooking. In this case, wrap the thinner part of the food with aluminum foil, use plastic wrap or a lid, and stir the food while cooking.
Why is the output power too low on my LG MS-2042W Microwave Oven?
The output power of your LG microwave oven might be low due to: * Low AC input voltage. Ensure you are using the microwave oven at an adequate line voltage. * It is also possible that the food simply requires a longer cooking time.
How to prevent blown fuse in LG MS-2042W?
To prevent a blown fuse or breaker when using your LG microwave oven, avoid using other electrical appliances simultaneously.
What to do if LG MS-2042W Microwave Oven has no microwave oscillation?
If your LG microwave oven shows no microwave oscillation, even though the oven lamp and fan motor are running, it could be due to several defective components. These include the PCB assembly, magnetron, circuit protector, high voltage transformer, high voltage capacitor, or high voltage diode. Each of these components may need to be replaced.
