Troubleshooting

Microwave does not turn on or heat food.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional wall outlet. Check if the microwave door is fully closed and latched. If these steps don't work, try a different outlet.

Food is not heating evenly or taking too long.

Verify that you have selected the appropriate power level and cooking time for your food item. Ensure you are using microwave-safe dishes and that food is spread evenly, if possible. For larger items, stir or rotate halfway through cooking.

Turntable is not rotating.

Check if the glass turntable and its support ring are correctly assembled and seated on the central hub. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing its rotation, such as food debris or oversized dishes.

Unusual noises during operation.

Ensure that the turntable is correctly positioned and that dishes are centered and not touching the microwave's interior walls. Check for any loose accessories or food particles that might be causing the noise.

Microwave light is not working.

While the internal light typically lasts a long time, if it stops working, it may indicate a bulb failure. This usually requires professional service for replacement and is not a user-serviceable part.
