  Your Maytag Microwave Oven might not start because the electrical cord isn't plugged in, the door isn't fully closed, a fuse in your home is blown, or the circuit breaker tripped. Ensure the oven is plugged into the outlet, the door is closed properly, and that you press START. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker if necessary. Also, ensure the 3-prong plug is fully inserted into the wall outlet.

  Uneven cooking, defrosting or overcooking in your Maytag Microwave Oven can occur if you're using non-microwave-safe cookware, the oven's ventilation ports are blocked, the cooking time or power level isn't correct, or the food isn't being turned or stirred. Make sure you're using microwave-safe cookware only. Ensure that the oven ventilation ports are not restricted. Check the cooking chart for the correct settings. Turn or stir the food during cooking.

  Arcing or sparking in your Maytag Microwave Oven can occur if you're using materials that should be avoided, such as metal or foil. It can also happen if you operate the oven when it's empty, or if spilled food remains in the cavity. Ensure you are using microwave-safe cookware only. Do not operate the microwave empty. Clean the cavity with a wet towel to remove any food residue.

Why did my Maytag MMV5100AA not give good results with Auto Sensor Cooking?
- C
  christopher41Sep 8, 2025
  Poor results with Auto Sensor Cooking on your Maytag Microwave Oven can happen if the food wasn't covered properly, if STOP/CLEAR was pressed or the door was opened during sensor programming, if the food isn't suitable for sensor cooking, or if there's too much or too little food. Follow the instructions on how to properly prepare food. Avoid opening the door or pressing STOP/CLEAR while 'SENSOR COOKING' is displayed. For food amounts exceeding 2 lbs (900 g) or less than 4 oz (115 g), use Timed Cooking.
