Troubleshooting

Microwave not starting

Ensure the microwave is properly plugged into a functioning outlet. Check if the door is fully closed, as a safety mechanism prevents operation if the door is ajar.

Uneven cooking or heating

Ensure the food is arranged evenly on the microwave-safe dish and that the turntable is rotating freely. For larger items, consider stirring or rotating the food halfway through the cooking cycle. Check that the selected power level is appropriate for the food being heated.

Sparking or arcing inside the microwave

Immediately stop the microwave. Remove any metal objects, such as aluminum foil, utensils, or dishes with metallic trim. Ensure no part of the microwave interior is damaged.

Digital display is dim or not working

Check that the microwave is plugged in. If the issue persists, it may indicate a problem with the display unit; contact customer support.

Turntable not spinning

Ensure the glass turntable is correctly seated on the roller ring and that the center support is properly aligned. Check for any obstructions beneath the turntable.
