How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting the outlet.
Checks:
- Ensure the plug is firmly seated in the outlet and that the outlet is not loose.
- Test the outlet with another appliance to confirm stable power.
- Verify that the microwave has proper ventilation and is not installed above a heat source without required clearances.
If resets continue with a known-good outlet:
- The control board or internal connections may be failing.
- Contact a Wolf technician to inspect and replace the control board or repair wiring as needed.
