Troubleshooting
Most cooking problems often are caused by little things you can find and fix without tools of any kind. Check the
lists below and on the next page before calling for assistance or service. If you still need help, see the Sears toll­
free numbers on the back cover.
MICROWAVE OVEN DOES NOT WORK
PROBLEM
Nothing works.
The microwave oven will
not run.
CAUSE
• The power supply cord is not plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. (See the
electrical requirements” section on page 6 and the “Electrical nnection’’ section
on Page 8.)
• A household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped.
• The electric company has had a power failure.
• You are using the oven as a timer. Touch OFF/CANCEL to cancel the Kitchen
Timer.
• The door is not firmly closed and latched.
• You did not touch START/ENTER.
• You did not follow directions exactly.
• An operation that you set earlier is still running. Touch OFF/CANCEL to cancel
that operation.
COOKING TIMES
PROBLEM CAUSE
Food is not cooked
enough.
• The electric supply to your home or wall outlets is low or lower than normal. Your
electric company can tell you if the line voltage is low. Your electrician or service
technician can tell you if the outlet voltage is low.
• The cook power is not at the recommended setting.
Check the chart on Page 15.
The display shows a time
counting down but the oven
is not cooking.
■ You have not allowed enough cooking time for the amount of food being
cooked. Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.
• The oven door is not closed completely.
• You have set the controls as a kitchen timer. Touch OFF/CANCEL to cancel the
Kitchen Timer.
