How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before removing filters or grilles.

Steps:

  • Clean grease filters: Remove the metal grease filters from the bottom of the Hisense over-the-range microwave and clean them with hot, soapy water. Dry completely before reinstalling.
  • Check recirculation vs. external venting: Ensure the blower is configured correctly for your installation (recirculating or vented to outside) according to the installation manual.
  • Inspect external vent: If vented outside, check the wall or roof cap for obstructions or stuck dampers.

If airflow is still poor:

  • A technician may need to inspect the exhaust fan motor, blower wheel, and internal ducting.
