Hi, what’s the shortcut to mute the beeps from this microwave? I’ve tried holding 0, 1, 2 and stop for 5-10 seconds — all to no avail. Rhanks

To fix a non-responsive control panel on a Sunbeam SGB8901 Microwave, try the following steps:
1. Check Power Supply – Ensure the microwave is plugged into a working outlet by testing it with another appliance. 2. Verify Settings – Make sure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set. 3. Ensure Door Closure – Confirm that the door is securely closed, engaging the door safety lock system, as the microwave will not function if the door is not properly shut.
For a replacement control panel, contact Sunbeam customer service at 1-866-257-3336 for service, support, and warranty information.
