When a microwave asks for the clock settings, it has lost power. Check the plug and the outlet for damage or if it is loose. When on, vibrations can cause the plug to reposition if loose enough. Even a very short loss of power will reset the microwave. If the plug/outlet is ok, then check to make sure that the fuse for the outlet is tightened fully (breaker switches do not have this problem). Last, try another outlet as the wiring to the outlet may be loose.

Did you find a solution?
I've got the same ******* problem with mine!

Hello :

It seems that there's a problem with the power transformer or the power PCB . Or it could be just a fuse . You need to check first . If it's the fuse , then that will be easy to solve , you need only to replace it with new one . But if the problem is with the transformer or with the PCB , you need to take your microwave to the service for repairing .

good luck .

rate please !

its possible you might be a door switch problem...when you try to heat the food,an it dont work ,lift up on the door handle ,see if it starts working...you might need to replace the door switch or switches...

This will occur if the touch pad board is malfunctioning. have the touch pad replaced asap, if possible. it is damaged.

Sounds like the magnetron has failed. This is the component that produces the microwave that heats the food. The cost of the magnetron is about 95% of the cost of a microwave . Most people don't, for this reason, replace the magnetron, they replace the whole oven which is probably what you will end up doing. There is a possibility that the circuit that provides power to the magnetron is faulty and you need to take it apart, find the proper electrical leads and test them with a volt meter. To do this you have to remove it from its mounting and take it apart. It is a fairly lengthy process however.

Hire an exorcist. That baby is haunted, yo.

Unless there is some kind of safety seal addressed in the manual, I would think the door open lever has failed.

If that's the case, I would return it for a replacement.

The touch pad may be defective. There is a membrane behind the buttons that will cause problems like that. The only cure is to replace the touch assy.

I would suggest that you try it for a minute or so on the very lowest power level and see if it shuts off. If so, please post again with more detail about how it fails, such as whether it loses all power as if someone unplugged it or just acts as if someone hit the STOP button.

If it keeps blowing a fuse then there is something that is causing the current spike blowing the fuse. I would run a full diagnostic or ask a qualified electrician. Something else is most likely blown and replacing a fuse would probably just feed the problem.
