Possible Cause
Has a household fuse blown or has the circuit
breaker tripped?
Is the appliance wired properly?
Is the door completely closed?
Is the electronic oven control set correctly?
On some models, is the Control Lock set?
On combination oven models, is the lower
oven self-cleaning?
Is the magnetron working properly?
This is normal and occurs when the transformer in the magnetron cycles on.
This is normal and will not affect performance.
Is the turntable properly in place?
Is the turntable support operating properly?
This is normal and depends on motor rotation at beginning of cycle.
Is the display showing a letter followed
by a number?
Is the Timer in use?
Are tones disabled?
Depending on the temperature inside the microwave oven after a cooking cycle ends, the cooling fan may
continue to run for some time in order to cool the microwave oven. The turntable may also continue to
rotate and the light may stay on during this time. This is normal. The door may be opened at any time to
add or remove food, and/or to start another cooking cycle.
Some smoke is normal and occurs just as in conventional crisping.
This is normal and occurs as fat burns off from past cooking. Sparking will stop once fat is completely
burned off.
Is the cooking power set properly?
Are large amounts of food being heated?
Is the incoming voltage less than that specified
in the "Electrical Requirements" section?
