Troubleshooting tips.
Things That Are Normal With Your Microwave Oven
■
Steam or vapor escaping from around
the door.
■
Light reflection around door or
outer case.
■
Dimming oven light and change in
the blower sound at power levels other
than high.
■
Dull thumping sound while oven is
operating.
■
TV/radio interference might be noticed
while using the microwave. Similar to
the interference caused by other small
appliances, it does not indicate a
problem with the microwave. Plug the
microwave into a different electrical
circuit, move the radio or TV as far away
from the microwave as possible, or check
the position and signal of the TV/radio
antenna.
