In detail: do-it-yourself mvp repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
At one point, for no reason, the microwave stops heating food. It would seem that everything works: the plate rotates, the backlight is on, even the grill is normal. And the microwave does not work, just as you do not switch modes. Moreover, such a situation is even possible when the device, after standing alone for a week, again begins to warm up regularly, but not for long. Before deciding to make a do-it-yourself microwave repair, read tips about possible causes and ways to eliminate them, as well as when it is still better to use the services of specialized workshops.
The most common reason that the microwave stops heating is the failure of the magnetron. Next on the list are a capacitor, a transformer, and a high-voltage fuse. But before you start digging into the insides of technology, it is not superfluous to check other, simpler reasons. So the MVP may not heat well or not at all if:
voltage less than 200 volts - the power of microwave radiation decreases;
something is broken in the control circuit - in the timer or control unit;
faults in power circuits, which include: high-voltage transformer, fuse, diode, as well as magnetron and capacitor;
the inverter in the inverter microwave is out of order.
Not only does it not heat, it also makes a buzzing or humming noise. In this case, there are three most likely reasons:
the high-voltage diode is out of order.
This electronic part passes current in only one direction, blocking its passage in the opposite direction. If the diode breaks down, the stove stops heating, but begins to hum.

A capacitor stores an electric field. Failure to do so can lead to the generation of microwaves, which manifests itself in a characteristic hum or hum.
A defective magnetron can also cause the microwave oven not to heat up, and you hear a hum or buzz.
ATTENTION: when deciding to search for why the device does not heat, as well as to repair the microwave with your own hands, keep in mind that the microwave is a dangerous household appliance. The danger of electric shock of high (up to 5000 V) voltage persists even if the equipment is disconnected from the mains. If you have the slightest doubt about your knowledge and skills in the field of electronics, it is better to contact a specialist, even for minor repairs or diagnostics. do not risk your health and life, the oven is not worth it.
Arm yourself with instructions, where there is a detailed diagram of the microwave oven device.
Find and check the high-voltage fuse. If it burns out, along the way we look at the elements of the multiplier (doubler - capacitor and diode). Checking the capacitor for charge-discharge is carried out with an ohmmeter (tester. If there are two batteries in the tester, the arrow will deviate noticeably, if one, then barely noticeable, be extremely careful to notice). The arrow deviated and went to - the capacitor is operational; if the ohmmeter needle fixes some resistance, then the capacitor is broken. An arrow that does not deviate anywhere also indicates that the part is out of order. It is possible to determine that the capacitor is the cause of the inoperative MVP by replacing the defective one with a new one. Remember to discharge the high voltage capacitor before checking or replacing! If the oven is working, then great. But no, let's move on.
The diode cannot be checked practically at home, so we will replace it with a new one that is definitely working.
If the capacitor and diode are working properly, then we check the magnetron. If the leads and the bushing capacitor ring with the magnetron body, then the capacitor (bushing) is broken, you can see a crack on the side and carbon deposits.
Most often it fails if:
the oven works without food inside the chamber - the microwave sparks, which leads to damage to the part;
there is a metal object inside the chamber and the oven was put into operation;
the magnetron is simply worn out.
Repairing a manual transmission is a rather complicated procedure. Although twenty years ago, many car owners repaired manual transmissions on their own in garages, now this procedure has become much more complicated, since technological progress has stepped forward and the manual transmission device has changed a lot.
Before you start repairing, you need to identify the malfunctions of the manual transmission, and only a thorough diagnosis of the manual transmission can help in this matter. After its completion, it will be clear whether it is worth repairing the box or whether it will be cheaper to purchase a new one. It should be remembered that even if the cost of spare parts is 50 percent of the cost of a new box, repairs at a service station will easily “eat up” the remaining amount.
In order to identify manual transmission malfunctions, you need to conduct a thorough diagnosis of this unit. After all, starting the repair of the manual transmission, focusing only on your guesses and assumptions, you can waste time and money, changing one after the other the serviceable parts of the manual transmission.
Since the devices of any manual transmission are approximately the same (domestic cars and foreign cars), diagnostics are carried out according to the same algorithm. If your car is equipped with an on-board computer, then most of the errors associated with the operation of the manual transmission can be deciphered. It also happens that errors do not indicate a specific malfunction, but only indicate a general breakdown.
Breakdowns of manual transmissions can be different, but they can be divided into several varieties:
Often, a simple flushing with oil helps to avoid problems with the manual transmission. There is no need to dismantle the box during this procedure. It is enough to drain the old oil and fill in the new one. After this procedure, you should start the car and drive at a calm pace. This procedure will help the new oil to penetrate into all parts of the gearbox. Sometimes it is necessary to rinse several times, as there can be a lot of dirt inside the box.
Now the stores sell special reducing additives for oil in manual transmissions. Do not abuse them, as their action at the checkpoint is not always predictable. It is better to pour in the additive for a while, and then drain it along with the oil.
When the manual gearbox starts to screw up, and the gears do not change or are knocked out on the go, you should urgently repair it. Driving a faulty car with a breakdown is not only unpleasant, but also unsafe. You can entrust the repair of the gearbox to professionals at the service station, but not all service stations are engaged in such work. In addition, the owner is often not allowed into the repair area, and unscrupulous mechanics can replace only one worn out gear, saying that they have overhauled the entire box.
For those who know well the device of the car and have a garage with a set of tools, it makes sense to repair the manual transmission on their own. This will save you a ton of money and help eliminate the jittery riding style. For this procedure, you will need an assistant, since the weight of the gearbox is quite impressive.
Before directly dismantling the gearbox, make sure that all cables, rails and levers are connected and move without jamming. It may also be that your vehicle jerked due to poor connection of the elements. In this case, it will be enough to connect or develop them.
