Microwave heating and grill browning are different functions
LG's UK range distinguishes solo microwaves from grill and combination appliances. Explain whether the problem affected reheating, defrosting, grill browning or another fitted mode. Report what the timer, turntable and food did during an ordinary use already observed. A working grill does not prove microwave heating works, and a rotating turntable alone is not a heating test. Do not run the appliance empty to gather more evidence.
Smart Inverter is a feature, not a replacement-part diagnosis
LG describes Smart Inverter as a power-control approach on equipped microwaves. The feature name does not identify your exact model or show why a meal stayed cold. Include the selected power level, whether heating stopped entirely or became inconsistent, and any displayed message. If controls appear locked, refer to the model's control-lock instructions rather than assuming the touch panel has failed. UKCDA does not need your app password or account access for an enquiry.
Sparking, door damage and repair suitability
Stop using a microwave that sparks, has unusual burning, or has a damaged door or sealing area. Describe the cooking mode and any cookware or supplied accessory involved without repeating the event. A metal grill accessory permitted in one mode should not be assumed safe in another; the exact handbook governs use. Never remove the casing, interfere with the door interlock or attempt internal work, even after unplugging. Send accessible model information and explain any cabinet fitting instead.
Safe checks and deciding your next step
For checks that do not involve dismantling the appliance, read the microwave safety guidance. If you are weighing up a repair and a replacement, see what affects that decision. Your exact model handbook takes precedence over general guidance.

Identify the exact LG model
Use the full LG model and suffix from accessible paperwork or the rating label. Product-family and feature names alone do not identify the appliance. LG UK product support and model finder
Copy the complete reference as printed, including any suffix. Use an accessible label or your appliance paperwork; leave built-in units, electrical covers and heavy appliances in place. If the label cannot be reached safely, explain this when you contact us.
For the manufacturer’s explanation of the feature discussed here, see LG UK: microwave types, power selection and Smart Inverter.
If you are considering a replacement
Do not enclose a countertop microwave in a cabinet simply because it fits. For a replacement intended for fitted use, provide its installation instructions and housing details so ventilation, trim and electrical suitability can be checked.

LG microwave repair questions
Can you tell whether a Smart Inverter microwave is worth repairing from its name?
No. The full model, condition and assessed fault determine the available options. The office will first check whether the work is suitable, then discuss charges and any proposed parts; the feature label alone is not enough.
Should I bring or remove the microwave before asking?
Contact the office first with the model and installation details. Do not remove a fitted unit or dismantle a countertop appliance as preparation. The appropriate assessment arrangement must be agreed for the actual appliance.
What details help with a LG microwave repair enquiry?
Tell us whether it is built-in, freestanding or a combination appliance and whether it starts, heats, sparks or shows a code. Stop use if it sparks, smokes or has door damage. Never remove the case: internal components can remain dangerous after unplugging.
