I have an Emerson 900W Microwave MW8999SB and it will randomly assign DEF1 and the rest of the keypad is difficult or not functioning. None of the quick buttons work, and only the 30-second button works. It's clear that the keypad is messed up, but I bought it only 2 months ago and it has only gotten worse from the first day I had it (in which the DEF1 appeared). Need some help.

Pressing the Clear/Pause button works. Sometimes. Most of the time, about a microsecond after pressing Clear/Pause, it goes right back to def1. Most of the time, pressing ANY button doesn't work. Usually takes me 10 to 20 tries to get anything to work. My microwave is about 3 months old. I will never buy Emerson again.

That's the "Auto Weight Defrost" mode. Press the Clear/Pause button to get out.
Here's a link to the manual http://www.emersonradio.com/owners/MWO%20manual/MW8106W.pdf

The owner's manual is here, and it does not mention that as a feature.

One way to prove that is to press the "Kitchen Timer" pad while the oven is cooking and see if anything happens.

No modern microwave that we know of has this dual function, but it sounds interesting.

I have an Emerson 900W Microwave Oven, Model #MW8992SB. Def1 stays on continuously. When I hit "stop, clear" it beeps off and then beeps "Def1" immediately. Then eventually I am able to hit "1" or "start"...

So many microwaveso have issues because there are millions and millions of them. You need to study the booklet and set aside some time to explore it. Write down what you do and assess it. In about an hour you'll figure it out. Download the booklet! Ovens are similar with various timers. It gets complex owing to the size of the electronic controlsystem.but totally fixable!

The oven sparks and gives a loud hum during use with plastic food containers. This scares my wife and mom terribly. I have an Emerson 900W microwave oven (model:MW8999SB).

It seems as though the container has a small amount of metal embedded in it ... don't assume just because it is plastic you can put it in the microwave.
Tip ... put just the plastic container in empty and try it. If the plastic get hot then it's the wrong type plastic for a microwave
