How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave. High-voltage components are dangerous.
- Check installation and grounding: Ensure the microwave is plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Do not use adapters that defeat the ground pin.
- Inspect chassis ground: With power disconnected, verify that the ground wire from the power cord is securely fastened to the chassis and that there is no corrosion.
- Ventilation check: Confirm that vents are not blocked and that the cooling fan runs when the unit is operating. Overheating can cause inverter overcurrent faults.
- Professional service: If H99 persists, the inverter or magnetron is likely faulty. These parts should be tested and replaced by a qualified Fisher & Paykel technician.
