5 year old microwave. I heard a pop while using this morning and now it won't heat. Fan runs and turntable turns. Any advice.

PS. This is my 3rd frigidaire appliance to breakdown since December. All are right at 5 years old.

It could have been the diode in the heating circuit that went or a component on the control board.

The only way to say for sure what it was is to have the microwave checked.

Here is a link to the parts of your microwave model PLMV168KC4.
