My LG Microwave Oven Won't Boil Water

LG manufactures a line of microwave ovens to accommodate different kitchen needs, from over-the-counter built-in appliances, to countertop ovens. Each is capable of heating water to the boiling point, which is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). The length of time it takes to heat tap water to the boiling point depends on the wattage of your particular model. If your LG microwave won't boil water, the power setting may be too low.
