Recommended Solutions
Microwave oven will
not operate
Check the following:
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.
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 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.

some models) is OFF.
Arcing in the

Soil buildup:
Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area
where the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in the “Microwave Oven
Care” section.
