How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave if it starts by itself or behaves erratically.

Steps:

  • 1. Drying: Leave the door open and allow the unit to dry for 24 hours, especially if the issue started after heavy cooking or cleaning.
  • 2. Clean keypad: Wipe with a mild cleaner and dry thoroughly.
  • 3. Panel replacement: If random beeping continues, replace the touch control panel. If the problem persists with a new panel, the control PCB is likely at fault.
