Your Amana Microwave Oven might not be working because the plug isn't fully inserted; make sure it's securely plugged in. Also, avoid plugging multiple devices into the same outlet simultaneously, as this can overload the circuit, tripping a breaker or blowing a fuse. Refrain from using other electrical appliances when you're using the microwave.
What to do if Amana Microwave Oven has sparks?
If you notice sparks inside your Amana Microwave Oven, it's likely due to using metallic ware or ceramic ware with metallic trimming. Do not use metallic ware or cookware with metallic trimming for cooking in the microwave.
Why is the output power too low in my Amana Microwave Oven?
The output power of your Amana Microwave Oven might be low due to low AC input voltage; ensure you are using the microwave at adequate line voltage. Also, if the food temperature is too low, this may not be a defect; the food may simply need to be cooked for a longer time period.
What to do if Amana Microwave Oven operates with little or no heat?
If your Amana Microwave Oven operates with little or no heat, it could be due to a lower than rated supply voltage. Contact your local power company or a qualified electrician. Alternatively, the controller or magnetron may need to be replaced.
Why is my Amana MENUMASTER DFS18E Microwave Oven cooking unevenly?
Uneven cooking in your Amana Microwave Oven can be caused by inconsistent food thickness or uneven distribution of fat or moisture within the food. To help ensure even cooking, use plastic wrap or a lid. If you are cooking soup, cocoa, or milk, stir it once or twice during the cooking process.
What to do if no input can be programmed on Amana MENUMASTER DFS18E Microwave Oven?
If you cannot program any input on your Amana Microwave Oven, it could be due to a failed controller or a loose connection. Consider replacing the controller or repairing the connection.
What to do if some inputs cannot be programmed on Amana MENUMASTER DFS18E Microwave Oven?
If some inputs cannot be programmed on your Amana Microwave Oven, the keypad or the controller may have failed. Consider replacing the keypad or the controller.
What to do if Amana MENUMASTER DFS18E Microwave Oven display shows all digits programmed, but does not start cooking when the START pad is pressed?
If your Amana Microwave Oven display shows all digits programmed but doesn't start when you press START, it might be due to a malfunction of the secondary switch, a failed controller, or a loose connection. You may need to replace the secondary switch, replace the controller, or repair the connection.
What to do if Amana Microwave Oven has no microwave oscillation even when oven light and fan motor operate?
If your Amana Microwave Oven has no microwave oscillation, even when the oven light and fan motor are working, it could be due to a failed controller, an abnormal voltage transformer, an abnormal voltage capacitor, an abnormal voltage diode, or a failed magnetron. You may need to replace the controller, the high voltage transformer, the high voltage capacitor, the high voltage diode, or the magnetron.
