Things That Are Normal With Your Microwave Oven
Steam or vapor escaping from around
the door.
Light reflection around door or outer case.
Dimming oven light and change in
the blower sound at power levels other
than high.
Dull thumping sound while oven is operating.
TV/radio interference might be noticed while
using the microwave. Similar to
the interference caused by other small
appliances, it does not indicate a problem with
the microwave. Plug the microwave into a
different electrical circuit, move the radio or TV
as far away from the microwave as possible,
or check the position and signal of the TV/radio
antenna.
