TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience

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 the 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, and 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 “Microwave Oven Care” section.

Display shows messages

■ “Enter Clock” with flashing digits 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, 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

  • For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.
