PROBLEM SOLVING
Problem Potential reason
Potential solution
Condensation
or excess
water
1. Food that is being
cooked
By the very nature of how a microwave works, it ‘excites’ the
water molecules in the food it is heating, causing them to
move about and generate heat from within the food. Often
when the food heats up it reaches the point where steam is
released. Dependant on the food type being heated (and its
water content level), the length of time being heated for
–
and so the amount of steam generated
– it is inevitable that
some of the steam will condense and form back into water
droplets within the microwave cavity. This can usually be
found on the inner walls or most commonly on the back of
the glass door. If not cleaned up, these droplets can start to
form small ‘pools’ of water.
2. Cooling vents covered
Cooling vents allow the heat and steam to escape from the
microwave. These cannot be covered as it can cause
excessive water to settle inside the microwave or the
microwave to overheat.
The
installation instructions
in the instruction manual must be
followed or the warranty will be void.
Paint damage/
peeling
