Potential solution
By the very nature of how a microwave works, it 'excites'
the water molecules in the food it is heating, causing them
to move about and generate heat from within the food.
Often when the food heats up it reaches the point where
steam is released. Dependant on the food type being
heated (and its water content level), the length of time
being heated for – and so the amount of steam generated
– it is inevitable that some of the steam will condense and
form back into water droplets within the microwave cavity.
This can usually be found on the inner walls or most
commonly on the back of the glass door. If not cleaned up,
these droplets can start to form small 'pools' of water.
Cooling vents allow the heat and steam to escape from the
microwave. These cannot be covered as it can cause
excessive water to settle inside the microwave or the
microwave to overheat.
The installation instructions in the instruction manual must
be followed or the warranty will be void.
If the microwave is within its warranty period, please
contact customer services for further advice or take the
microwave back to the retailer it was purchased from for a
refund or replacement
Due to the construction of microwaves and certain
'dangerous' components inside. The light bulb can only be
changed by a qualified service engineer.
If the microwave is within its warranty period, please
contact customer services for further advice or take the
microwave back to the retailer it was purchased from for a

The component that produces the microwaves is called a
magnetron, if food is not being heated or is 'luke' warm
then it is likely this component has developed a fault.
If the microwave is within its warranty period, please
contact customer services for further advice or take the
microwave back to the retailer it was purchased from for a
refund or replacement
