• 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.
