LMA1180ST
LG LMA1180ST Small Microwave and Turntable Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Child lockout setting when buttons seem dead
- Door latch switches
- Turntable motor and tray
- Heat output
- Fuse and power path
Basic and older, the LMA1180ST is a countertop microwave with Auto Defrost, one touch settings, child lockout and a turntable. As a legacy model it is usually a secondary kitchen or office unit.
A common call on a unit with child lockout is not a repair at all: the lock is on and the buttons do nothing. We confirm that first, then look at the door switches, fuse and keypad.
On a small, plain microwave the cost of a repair has to make sense, so we price it in writing before any work and say plainly if it does not. The label confirms the model.

Error codes this model can show
None of the buttons work. Is it broken?
Check whether child lockout is on, since it blocks the keypad by design. If the lock is off, we test the panel, door switches and fuse.
The turntable only turns one way or sticks. Why?
The turntable motor or the coupler may be worn, or the roller ring may be off track. We check each one, and these parts are usually inexpensive to replace on a basic microwave.
Should I repair a basic older microwave?
If the fix is a switch, fuse or turntable part, usually yes. If a major high-voltage part has failed, we will tell you when replacing makes more sense.
