Possible Causes

Failed high-voltage relay on control board, Open thermal cutout, Faulty door switch in HV circuit, Defective main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Internal high-voltage circuits are dangerous; do not open the cabinet.

User-level checks:

  • Confirm symptoms: Test with a cup of water. If after 1–2 minutes the water is still cold and the turntable does not move, but fan and light run, the HV circuit may not be engaging.
  • Check door closure: Ensure the door is fully closed and latching properly.
  • Service: A technician should test the door switches, thermal cutouts, and control board relays, and repair or replace the faulty component.
