How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave.
Basic checks:
- Smell for burnt odors near the control area.
- Remove the control panel and inspect the board for burnt or cracked relays.
Resolution: Relay replacement typically requires soldering and should be done by a professional. In most cases, the entire control board is replaced. Also have the technician check for shorted loads (e.g., fan motor, turntable motor) that may have caused relay failure.
