Things That Are Normal With Your Microwave Oven

50
Possible Causes
When using a Sensor
feature, the door was
opened before steam
could be detected.
Steam was not detected in
maximum amount of time.
The control has been
locked. (When the control
panel is locked an L will
be displayed.)
The temperature inside the
oven is greater than 200°F.
One of the sensor cooking
pads was pressed when the
temperature inside the
oven was greater than 200°F.
You have tried to start the
Reminder without a valid
time of day.

Auto Night Light without a
valid time of day entered

for single servings of
recommended foods.
Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.
Light reflection around door or outer case.
Dimming oven light and change in the blower sound at power
levels other than high.

TV/radio interference might be noticed while using the
microwave. Similar to the interference caused by other small

Plug the microwave into a different electrical circuit, move the
radio or TV as far away from the microwave as possible, or
check the position and signal of the TV/radio antenna.
