Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave immediately if it operates unexpectedly.
Steps to address phantom key presses:
- 1. Dry out: Leave the microwave unplugged with the door open for 24 hours to allow any moisture in the control area to evaporate.
- 2. Avoid spraying cleaners: Do not spray liquid directly onto the keypad; apply cleaner to a cloth instead.
If random beeping or operation continues after drying, the membrane keypad or control PCB is likely damaged and should be replaced by a technician.
