Before Requesting Service

See below before calling for service, as most problems can easily be remedied by following these simple solutions:

Problem

Solution

The oven causes TV 
interference.

Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or 
other wireless equipment interference might occur when you cook with the 
microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small 
appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a 
problem with your oven.

Steam accumulates 
on oven door and 
warm air comes from 
the oven vents.

During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the 
steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the 
oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the 
oven door. This is normal. After use, the oven should be wiped dry (see page 23).

Oven will not turn on.

The oven is not plugged in securely or needs to be reset; remove plug from 
outlet, wait ten seconds and re-insert.

Main circuit breaker or main fuse is tripped; reset main circuit breaker or replace 
main fuse.

There is a problem with the outlet; plug another appliance into the outlet to 
check if it is working.

Oven will not start 
cooking.

The door is not completely closed; close the oven door securely.

noise coming from 
the Glass Tray.
