Hello jservantes, thank you for your post!
From my understanding, your Frigidaire microwave (FMCB157GB) has power does not heat. Often the possibilities include one of four culprits:
Power Supply
Plugged into GFI Outlet
Faulty Control Panel
Faulty Magnetron
I always recommend resetting your microwave first. You can do so by unplugging your appliance or flipping the circuit breaker for about 30 seconds and then turning the appliance back on. If resetting the power does not correct the issue, you may need to reach out to the manufacturer directly or a professional for further diagnosis.
