How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before inspection.

Steps:

  • Confirm mode: Ensure you have correctly selected convection mode and set a temperature, not just microwave power.
  • Preheat test: Start a preheat cycle and check if hot air is produced after several minutes. If not, the convection heater or fan may be faulty.
  • Technician checks: With the cabinet removed (unplugged), test the convection element and fan motor for continuity and inspect wiring and thermostats.
