QUESTIONS?

USE THIS PROBLEM SOLVER

• 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.

• Some TV-Radio interference might be noticed while

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

• Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.

• Light reflection around door.

• During cooking you will hear “cracking” and

“popping” noises which are nothing more than
normal expansion of the oven.

• At the end of microwave cycles you will hear 

a slight thump. This is normal.
