      If your LG Microwave Oven isn't working, first ensure the plug is securely inserted. If that's not the issue, check that the AC input voltage is adequate. Also, consider that if the food temperature is too low, it may simply need a longer cooking time.

    Why is my LG MS-7042MK not heating properly?
    • J
      Justin RodriguezAug 6, 2025
      If your LG Microwave Oven seems to be operating but produces little heat, the output rating voltage may be lower than 90%. It is suggested that the customer contact their local electric power utility company or a qualified electrician. Also, a defective PCB assembly or magnetron may be the cause. In these cases, replace the PCB assembly or the magnetron.

      If your LG Microwave Oven does not operate at all, the display window shows no figures, and no input is accepted, it could be due to a malfunction of the monitor switch, a defective thermostat, or a defective power supply cord. Replace the fuse and check the continuity of the monitor switch. Replace the thermostat or the power supply cord.
