Hinari Microwave not cooking anything!
2 Answers
I have a Hinari Lifestyle Microwave MX745GLSL that has stopped heating anything up. Its guarantee only ran out 17 days ago....Typical! I have tried using it on different power levels and times with various food and liquids but everything comes out cold. Any advice before I resort to buying a new one?

If the microwave internal light is on and the turntable is rotating, then the most likely cause is that the magnetron is not producing any microwaves. This could be due to a fault within the magnetron or a failure of the high voltage diode.
Unfortunately, a repair will cost around the same as a new microwave, or more if it is a cheap model.

As an alternative to repair or buying another � you could try asking for a repair/replacement from where you purchased it, even though it is outside their guarantee period.
Under the UK sale of goods act � goods have to be of merchantable quality. In simple terms, they should last a reasonable period. What constitutes a reasonable period depends on the type of goods in question. You cannot expect a disposable cigarette lighter to last a year, but it would be reasonable for a �1,000 flat screen TV to last 5 years (or more). It would also be reasonable for a microwave to last 5 years, however if the seller chooses to refuse a refund � your only option is to pursue a claim through the small claims court. Which to be honest, is not worth the hassle, unless the value of the goods is at least �100.
Personally, I don�t know why an organisation like Which? doesn�t support a few high profile cases against retailers, insisting on 5 years as a reasonable guarantee period for durable goods sold in the UK, and destroy the lucrative rip-off extended guarantees sold by retailers.
