Possible Causes
Blocked ventilation, Failed cooling fan motor, Defective thermal cut-out on magnetron or cavity, Excessive internal grease and dust buildup
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
User-level actions:
- Improve ventilation: Ensure the Clatronic microwave has adequate clearance on all sides and is not installed in a closed cabinet without proper airflow.
- Clean vents: Use a soft brush and vacuum to remove dust and grease from all external vents.
- Avoid long continuous runs: For heavy use, allow short breaks between long cooking cycles.
Technician-level checks:
- Remove cabinet (unplugged). Inspect the cooling fan motor for proper operation and free rotation.
- Test thermal cut-outs on the magnetron and cavity for continuity when cool. Replace any that remain open.
Warning: If the unit repeatedly overheats, do not continue using it until inspected by a professional.
