Troubleshooting
Most cooking problems often are caused by little things you can find and fix without tools of
any kind. Check the lists below and on the next page before calling for assistance or service.
If you still need help, see the "Requesting Assistance or Service" section.
If nothing operates, check the following:
Is the microwave oven plugged into a live outlet with the proper voltage?
(See Installation Instructions.)
Have you blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit breaker?
Has the electric company experienced a power failure?
