Recommended Solutions
Microwave oven will
not operate
Check the following:
■
Household fuse or circuit breaker -
If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped, replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
■
Magnetron -
Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does
not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.
■
Door -
Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove
it, then firmly close door.
If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without
the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open
and close the door, then start the cycle.
■
Control -
Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is OFF. Make sure Demo mode (on
some models) is OFF.
Arcing in the
microwave oven
Check the following:
■
Soil buildup -
Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where
the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in the “Microwave Oven Care”
section.
Turntable alternates
rotation directions
■
This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.
Display shows
messages
■
A flashing “:” or “PF” means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.
■
A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.
Fan running during
cooktop usage
■
This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan (on some models), which is separate from the vent
fan, automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may also
automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below
is being used.
Radio, TV, or
cordless phone
interference
Check the following:
■
Proximity -
Move the receiver away from the microwave oven or adjust the radio or TV antenna.
■
Soil -
Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.
■
Frequency -
Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static
or noise while microwave oven is ON. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone, or avoid
using these items during microwave oven operation.
