Check the Problem Solver in the back of this guide. It lists causes of minor operating problems that you can correct yourself.

All these things are normal with your microwave oven.

•Dimming oven light and change in blower sound may occur while operating at power levels other than high.

•Dull, thumping sound while oven is operating.

•Some TV-radio interference might be noticed while using your microwave oven. It’s similar to the interference caused by other small appliances and does not indicate a problem with your microwave. If you notice this interference, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave as possible, or check the position and signal of the receiving antenna.

•Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.

•Light reflection around door or outer case.

•During cooking you will hear “cracking” and “popping” noises which are nothing more than normal expansion of the oven.

•At the end of microwave cycles you will hear a slight thump. This is normal.
