How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect from mains.

  • Check supply: Verify that the microwave is connected directly to a properly grounded wall outlet with the correct voltage for your region.
  • Avoid overloading circuits: Do not run the microwave on the same circuit as heavy appliances that may cause voltage drops.
  • Inspect mains connections: With the cover removed, check the terminal block, line filter, and wiring for loose screws or burnt connectors. Tighten and replace as needed.
  • Replace line filter board: If components on the filter board are burnt or cracked, replace the board with a Zanussi-compatible part.
