Troubleshooting guide
Microwave Sparking Inside
Stop the cycle immediately. Check for metal, foil, damaged cavity coating or unsuitable cookware; do not use it if sparking continues.
Possible causes
Stop the cycle immediately. Check for metal, foil, damaged cavity coating or unsuitable cookware; do not use it if sparking continues. Other causes may be possible; a technician needs the exact brand, model and symptoms to narrow them down.
Safety note: Do not remove covers or attempt electrical, refrigerant or high-voltage repairs. Disconnect power only when safe, and contact a qualified technician if the issue persists.
When to request service
Request an inspection if the problem continues after the basic checks, repeats, shows an error code, trips power, leaks, smells burnt, or involves internal components.
What to share when booking
