TROUBLESHOOTING

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.
Microwave wiring: See Installation Instructions provided with your microwave oven.
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, 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.
This is normal and occurs when the power supply in the magnetron cycles on.
This is normal and will not affect performance.
Turntable: Make sure turntable is correct-side up and is sitting securely on the turntable support.
See the "Turntable" section.
Turntable support: Remove turntable. Remove and clean turntable hub, support, and rollers. Replace
hub, support, and turntable. Place 1 cup (250 mL) of water on the turntable, then restart microwave
oven. If it still is not working, call for service. See the "Warranty" section. Do not operate the microwave
oven without turntable and turntable support working properly.
This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.
A flashing "0:00" means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.
Timer: See the "Timer" section.
Tones: See the "Tones" section.
Cooking power: See the "Microwave Cooking Power" section.
Amount of food: Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.
Voltage: Have a qualified electrician check the electrical system in the home.
