How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before internal inspection.

User-level checks:

  • Ensure the plug fits tightly in the outlet.
  • Avoid sharing the circuit with heavy-load appliances that may cause voltage dips.
  • Consider using a surge protector rated for microwaves.

Internal checks:

  • Inspect the noise filter board and power connections for looseness or heat damage.
  • If connections are solid, the control board may have a failing power supply section and need replacement.
