• Dimming oven light and change in blower sound
may occur while operating at power levels other
than high.
• Dull, thumping sound while oven is operating.

using your microwave oven. It’s similar to the
interference caused by other small appliances and
does not indicate a problem with your oven.

• Light reflection around door.
