How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the microwave is plugged into a properly grounded outlet.
- Check plug and outlet: Make sure the plug fits snugly. Try another outlet on a dedicated circuit if possible.
- Avoid power strips: Plug the microwave directly into the wall outlet, not into a surge protector or extension cord.
- Monitor behavior: If resets occur during heavy appliance use on the same circuit, consider moving the microwave to a different circuit.
- Service board: If the issue persists on a known-good circuit, the control board's power supply may be failing and should be replaced.
