    Why is my LG MS-3446VR Microwave Oven running but not heating?
    • K
      Karen DiazJul 31, 2025
      If your LG Microwave Oven seems to be operating but isn't producing much heat, it could be due to several reasons. One possible cause is that the power source voltage is lower than 90%. In this case, it's suggested you contact your local electric power utility company or a qualified electrician. Another cause can be a defective PCB assembly, which would need replacement. Finally, a defective magnetron could also be the reason; this part would also need to be replaced.

      If your LG Microwave Oven lamp and fan motor run, but there's no microwave oscillation and the display operates properly, it could be due to a defective PCB assembly, high voltage capacitor, high voltage diode, or magnetron. Each of these components would need to be replaced.

      Sparks inside your LG Microwave Oven can occur if you're using metallic ware or allowing it to touch the oven wall. Avoid using metallic ware for cooking unless specifically noted in the cooking guide. Also, do not use ceramic ware trimmed with gold or silver powder, as this can also cause sparks.

    Why is the output power so low on my LG Microwave Oven?

      Tina WoodsAug 18, 2025
      If your LG Microwave Oven isn't heating food adequately, it might not be a defect. It's possible that the food needs to be cooked for a longer time. Also, ensure that you are using the microwave oven at adequate line voltage, as low AC input voltage can cause low output power.
