Microwave emits a burning smell or smoke during operation

Safety: Stop the microwave immediately, unplug it, and open windows for ventilation. Do not continue to use until the source is identified.

• 1. Inspect interior: Look for burnt food, splatters, or melted plastic. Clean thoroughly with mild detergent and water.
• 2. Check turntable parts: Inspect the roller ring and coupler for melting or deformation.
• 3. Smell test with cover off: With the unit unplugged and cover removed, smell near the transformer, capacitor, and magnetron for burnt odor.
• 4. If smell is from electronics or wiring: Do not use the microwave. Arrange for professional inspection and replacement of burnt components.
• 5. After cleaning and replacing any melted interior parts, test with a cup of water while monitoring closely.
