Possible Causes

Dirty humidity sensor, heavy grease on cavity walls, incorrect cookware or covering, failing humidity sensor, control calibration issue

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow the unit to cool before cleaning.

  • Clean interior: Thoroughly clean the cavity, especially near the humidity sensor port, with mild detergent and water. Remove all grease and residue.
  • Use proper cookware: Follow Monogram guidelines for sensor cooking (microwave-safe, no tight plastic wrap that traps all steam).
  • Reset control: Disconnect power for 5 minutes to reset sensor calibration.
  • Sensor replacement: If performance remains poor, the humidity sensor may be drifting out of spec and should be replaced.
