I have an approximately 6 year old NEFF 1000W microwave that has gone faulty.
symptoms - LED display is working ok.
On all power settings, microwave turntable & fan start but I cant hear the magnetron firing up. After about 20 seconds, Microwave stops.
No beeps, no error codes. Just stops.
My suspicion is that the Magnetron has shuffled off its mortal (RF) coil and the control board has been nailed to it's perch.
Bad news in itself as parts alone come in at approx £270. Question is, are there any other possible parts that may need replacing and is it worth doing.
Obviously I will have to call in an expert owing to the exceptionally high voltages involved and necessity to conduct a microwave radiation leakage test at the end of the repair.
A direct replacement for the microwave is approx £800 !
