All the other operations work, light goes on, turntable spins, fan works, keypad works. I leave a pyrex glas of water in the over and turn it on for 2 minutes and no heat at all. I have had the oven for about 3 years now and wonder if it is worth it to try and fix or just buy a new one. I am OK with fixing stuff, but I have read on other sites that if you don't know what you are doing this could be dangerous.

Any help would be appreciated.

They have safeties that will blow when it's dirty. You will need a meter to find it.

Huh? I don't understand your answer.

You have to have a meter and know how to use it. You can then fix it for a few dollars. If you cannot use a meter you will not be able to fix most appliances. Safety switches are devices that open when a certain limit is reached; in your case it's temperature and amperage that opens the safety. To know whether it's open or not you need a meter, unless you are a "parts changer" that randomly replaces parts in the hopes that it will work (It usually does not.). Here is a manual: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/How...e%20Manual.pdf

OK, I have a meter and am not a pro, but with a little guidance I could probably at least be able to check some of it. My next question would be where do I start checking? Do I need to keep the microwave plugged in? If you can give me some details on how to do this and what I should be looking for that would be helpful. I am usually a "parts changer", but would like to try and fix this without going and spending the money on a new unit. At the very least give it the old "college try". If I am asking too much, that is fine, but I am hoping that you can expand on this a little more to get me a little more educated.

Thanks for your time.

I would trace it through the timer from the plug. Start at the plug prongs and move through it until you find the break. All are different.
