A microwave that runs but doesn't heat usually has a failed high-voltage part, and that is not a safe do-it-yourself repair: the capacitor can hold a charge even when unplugged.
In mobile homes, appliances are often fitted into tight spaces, so mention the home type when you book and we'll plan for it.

What a microwave is telling you
Runs, light on, turntable turns, but food stays cold: the high-voltage circuit isn't producing microwaves. The usual causes are a failed high-voltage diode, capacitor, magnetron or, less often, the transformer. On inverter microwaves, the inverter board takes the place of the transformer and can fail on its own.
Completely dead, no display: check the outlet first, then suspect the main fuse. A blown fuse often happens because a door switch failed, so replacing the fuse alone may not last. Starts and then stops after a few seconds: often a door switch or a thermal cutoff tripping because the cooling fan isn't working.
Sparking or arcing inside: metal in the cavity, or a grease-soaked waveguide cover, the small panel on the inside wall that protects the opening where microwaves enter. Food splatter on that cover can burn and carbonize, and a carbonized cover keeps arcing. Turntable not turning: a worn coupler or a failed turntable motor. Keys that don't respond: the membrane keypad or its ribbon connection, sometimes damaged by steam or grease from the stove below on over-the-range models.
