If the problem continues, call an electrician.■Magnetron - Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.■Door - Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door.If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle.■Control - Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo Mode (on some models) is off.Arcing in the microwave oven Check the following:■Soil buildup - Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in “Microwave Oven Care” section.Turntable alternates rotation directions ■This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.Display shows messages■“Enter Clock” with flashing digits means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.■A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.Odor and smoke coming from microwave oven during convection cooking ■This is normal for the first few convection cycles. The odor will dissipate with repeated use.Quartz bulb does not appear to be on■This is not unusual. See “Grill Element” in the “Features” section.■Is the element still working properly?Place 2 slices of bread on the tall grill rack, place the rack on the turntable and close the door.
