Troubleshooting Tips feature located by pressing the HELP button while on

• 

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.

• 

Moisture on the oven door and walls while
cooking. Wipe the moisture off with a paper
towel or soft cloth.

• 

Moisture between the oven door panels when
cooking certain foods. Moisture should
dissipate shortly after cooking is finished.

• 

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.

• 

The Active Vent door (on some models) will
open during operation, and remain open
while the microwave is running, to keep the
electronics cool. It is also normal to hear a
clicking noise as the vent door opens and
closes.
