It’s weird to see that your Dacor microwave spins but doesn't heat up. Be certain that is not a coincidence but alert to start acting. Mostly, such a breakdown means that the magnetron has failed. The magnetron is the part that actually produces the microwaves and unfortunately it's a very expensive part on this particular unit although still probably worth repairing since the cost of these units are very expensive. Also, it makes sense to check other parts for malfunctioning. The microwave oven can store a lethal amount of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the high running voltage and the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace or fix the magnetron. If the microwave is running but not heating your food, another possibility is the diode has burnt out. A diode allows the electrical current to flow in only one direction. The diode converts the A/C power output of the transformer to D/C, doubling the voltage to nearly 5,000 volts. This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food. If the diode burns out, the magnetron won’t receive enough voltage to operate, preventing the microwave from heating. When the diode fails, it is often visibly burned out. Inspect the diode and if the diode is burned out, replace it. If inspecting the diode proves inconclusive, test it with a multimeter that uses a 9-volt battery or put a 9-volt battery in series with the diode. When the leads are reversed, the diode should only have continuity in one direction. The Microwave Door Switch is a piece in the microwave to stop the oven from running while the door is open. If this switch is damaged, the microwave may look like it still works with the fan and rotation motor still functioning, but the food won’t warm up. You won’t realize this until you nuked something 2 or 3 times without any luck. Get the best assistance as soon as possible and return your Dacor microwave to normal functioning!
