What do you do if your microwave won't turn on?

Your microwave won't turn on. That's annoying if you were just about to heat up yesterday's leftovers. Check if the display of the microwave still works. That way, you know if the microwave is plugged in. In this article, we'll tell you what else you can do.

Summary causes

Microwave on counter

There are different possible reasons your microphone has stopped working. Check the following things.

  • Tip 1: check the door
  • Tip 2: check the door latches
  • Tip 3: use a different socket

Tip 1: check the door

Microwave on counter

Your microwave was doing fine yesterday, but today it has stopped working. If the display still works, you know for sure the device is plugged in. Check if the door of the microwave closes correctly. Remove crumbs and objects near the door and hinges. These can keep the microwave from closing, so it can't start heating.

Tip 2: check the door latches

Microwave on counter

Did you check if the door of the microwave closes properly, but does it still refuse to work? Check if the door latches are intact. The image shows what door latches look like. If one or both door latches have broken off, you can't start a microwave function.

Tip 3: use a different socket

If the display of the microphone isn't turned on, the microwave isn't getting any power. In this case, you can plug the microwave into a different socket. Preferably, a socket outside the kitchen. It's possible that the socket is defect or that you've connected too many devices to one electric circuit.

Does your microwave still refuse to work after you've checked all of these things? Contact our customer service.
