Viking Microwave Is Not Working

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Today is the day you have to go to work without having breakfast because eating cold…Do not recommend…Viking microwave is not working!

The significance of the microwave is indescribable. Remember how you chose to buy it instead of a british shorthair cat your wife always dreamed about? Your Viking became a member of your family before your daughter for a moment. And the function of your 4-years dear microwave oven is over your daughter’s. Ok, took it back, you love them both.

But the problem still exists. Your microwave is not working. Let’s have a look at how much it is possible to bring your family back again.

 How Not To Lose Face If Your Mirowave Is Not Working

Make sure your microwave oven is plugged. Maybe your little one wanted to have fun checking your creativity.

If everything is not so obvious and thus funny, let’s move on. Maybe a microwave oven outlet isn’t receiving any power. Plug another appliance that you know works into the socket.

The microwave oven’s door transmits the signal that everything is ready to start. And it fails until the door is not shut properly.

Check the right settings. Ensure it’s not a ridiculous case when you expect from your microwave oven too much. It can hardly help you to heat anything in the defrost cycle.

Sorry If Your Microwave Is Not Working. But Why?

Here are some possible reasons your microwave is not working
[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Door Switch

Try always to keep calm and do not slam the door. Avoid opening the door while the microwave is still on. Faults in the door switch’s interlock system will prevent your microwave from operating. If there is a problem with the door switch, the microwave won’t start or heat. It needs to be replaced by a licensed technician, as it’s extremely dangerous.

Microwave Touchpad

It’s quite easy to determine if the touchpad let you down. Press each of the buttons on the control panel, and if some of them don’t correspond correctly, here is the answer. An unresponsive touchpad is likely the result of a faulty membrane switch or control board. As a result, they are unable to power your selected demands. These parts are needed to be repaired as it’s practically impossible to fix.

Diode

The high voltage diode provides power to the magnetron. Even if it’s receiving power, the faults with the microwave’s high voltage diode will prevent your microwave from producing heat. This part is challenging to access; it will require the removal of the cabinet. In case you did it and want to test a diode, you will need a multimeter. If it does not show continuity or shows continuity in both directions, you will need to replace it.

Сapacitor

A capacitor is an electrical device that stores electricity. Try to remember. Does it appear to be burned in any way? Capacitors do not go wrong often, but to check if this the cause of your problem, first disconnect power. A defective capacitor may be the reason why your microwave is not heating and why it is making buzzing or humming noise. If you are not a newbie in using ohmmeter, and the result is not satisfying, or you see the signs of damage, it must be replaced before your microwave will work again.
