moisture off with a paper towel or soft cloth.
s
Moisture between the oven door panels when cooking certain
foods. Moisture should dissipate shortly after cooking is finished.
s
Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.

Light reflection around door or outer case.
s
Dimming oven light and change in the blower sound at
power levels other than high.
s
Dull thumping sound while oven is operating.
s
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.
s
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.
