If food stays cold, the magnetron or power supply may be failing. This is a key repair need for drawer units.

Drawer models often rely on touch panels. When they fail, no cycles can be selected.

If the tray won’t sit correctly, food heats unevenly. Realignment or motor repair is needed.

Unusual humming or grinding suggests motor or electrical issues. Prompt repair prevents further breakdowns.

Mechanical jams or motor failures prevent smooth operation. Without access, the microwave can’t be used at all.

Remove crumbs and debris to ensure smooth opening and closing.

Prevent spills that can damage electronics.

Stick to flat, microwave-safe dishes for even heating.
