How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before inspecting the cord or internal components.
Steps:
- 1. Check outlet and plug: Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet. Avoid using extension cords or power strips.
- 2. Test on another circuit: If possible, plug the microwave into a different properly grounded outlet to rule out circuit issues.
- 3. Inspect cord and strain relief: Look for damage where the cord enters the microwave. If damaged, have the cord replaced by a technician.
- 4. Internal diagnosis: If resets continue, the line filter or control board power supply may be failing and should be tested and replaced by a professional.
