Possible Causes

Failed magnetron, Open high-voltage diode, Open high-voltage capacitor, Faulty high-voltage transformer or inverter module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Critical safety warning: The high-voltage section can be lethal. Do not attempt internal HV repairs unless you are a trained technician.

User-level confirmation:

  • Place a cup of water in the center of the turntable and run on full power for 1–2 minutes.
  • If the water remains cold while the timer counts down and everything appears normal, heating components are likely faulty.
  • Ensure the unit is not in demo mode (check Fagor manual).

Next steps: Internal diagnosis involves testing the magnetron, transformer/inverter, capacitor, and diode. This should be done only by a professional. Discontinue use until serviced.
