How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Critical safety warning: The high-voltage section can be lethal. Only qualified persons should work beyond basic checks.

  • Confirm symptom: Place a cup of water inside and run on full power for 1–2 minutes. If the water remains cold, heating is not occurring.
  • Check power settings: Ensure the power level is set to 100% and that you are not in a defrost or low-power mode.
  • Listen for abnormal sounds: A loud buzzing or humming can indicate a shorted high-voltage component.
  • Professional diagnosis: A technician will test the magnetron, diode, capacitor, and transformer and replace the faulty part with Zanussi-approved components.
