Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety Warning: Unplug the microwave before cleaning around sensor openings.
Steps:
- Clean the interior cavity, especially near the sensor vent area, to remove grease and residue.
- Ensure that vents are not blocked and that cookware does not cover sensor openings.
- Try different food quantities and types to confirm the issue is consistent.
If sensor performance remains poor after cleaning, the humidity sensor may need replacement or the control may require recalibration, which is typically a technician-only procedure.
