Possible Causes

Failed magnetron,Failed high-voltage diode,Failed high-voltage capacitor,Open high-voltage transformer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave. The high-voltage section contains lethal voltages even after unplugging due to stored charge in the capacitor. Do not attempt internal HV repairs unless you are trained.

  • 1. Confirm no heat: Place a cup of water inside and run on full power for 1–2 minutes. If the water remains cold, heating is not occurring.
  • 2. Check basic operation: Ensure the timer counts down, the interior light is on, and the turntable rotates. If these work, the issue is likely in the high-voltage or magnetron circuit.
  • 3. External checks only for non-professionals: Verify the door closes properly and that no error codes appear. Beyond this, internal diagnosis should be left to a technician.
  • 4. Professional diagnosis: A technician will safely discharge the capacitor, then test the magnetron, HV diode, capacitor, and transformer, replacing any failed Beko-specified components.

Recommendation: Due to the risks involved, contact an authorized Beko service center for no-heat faults.
