hi Nancy , it may have a internal battery that needs replacing or the display itself is faulty... Regards Rob

This is a problem in one of the damper-related components, either the switch or motor or the damper door may be binding. The damper is a door inside that opens or closes depending on cooking mode. If the controller senses that the door is not in the right position, it will shut down the cook cycle. Sharp (and Sharp-made Dacor and Wolf) models stop after 59 seconds. See the sample drawing for a typical damper assembly. http://www.fixya.com/uploads/Howto/B27054B.jpg We have the applicable service manuals here and here.

Quite often this is due to grease or food particles stuck somewhere in the cavity of the oven or stuck on or behind the waveguide cover. It may also be in the area of the turntable support, coupler, or motor. The waveguide cover (also called a spatter shield) is usually about the size of a playing card and often held in place by a plastic rivet. In some models it is a larger stirrer cover type made of thicker plastic in the ceiling of the oven. It can be fragile, and the metal edges of the oven behind it can be sharp, so be careful! The cover and the metal behind it should be cleaned with a mild, non-ammonia cleaner. The area will first have to be sanded smooth and cleaned and dried thoroughly. If the cavity metal of the oven is cracked or split, you can use a small amount of steel-based epoxy such as JB-WELD to patch the crack or hole. Once that dries thoroughly, you can sand it very smooth. Then you can apply some high-temperature appliance paint, available from places like Wal-Mart, Lowe's or Builder's Square. If your waveguide cover is burned, it will need to be replaced.It provides critical protection for the magnetron. The service manual is here and the parts list is here.
