Steam or vapor escaping from around
the door.

■
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

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.
