How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the microwave.
User-level checks:
- Clean filters: On over-the-range models, remove and clean the grease filters. Ensure the top and front vents are not blocked.
- Check for obstructions: Make sure cabinets or decorative trim are not blocking airflow.
Advanced checks:
- Access internal fan: Remove the outer cabinet to locate the internal cooling fan.
- Inspect fan: Check that the fan spins freely and that wiring is intact.
- Replace fan or thermal cutout: Replace the Frigidaire internal cooling fan motor or any open thermal cutouts as needed.
