Why doesn't it work?

tilt it in every direction to let all the water that will drain out, drain out. then wait a day. with luck, it will work fine.

Are you programming it for 2:00 or just pressing 2, then Start?

Try resetting it by unplugging it for a couple of minutes, plugging it back in, then setting the clock and trying again.

The first thing to try is to do a hard reset.

Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for about 5 minutes.

If it still doesn't work, it may need repair, which can be done for $39.95 in most cases.

The door switch does sound more likely, and is a good place to start. These switches are well known to be intermittent at times.

find the user manual here:

It sounds like 2 separate problems:

1) One of the cooktop lights may have shorted. Sometimes this happens and causes damage (repairable) to the control circuit board. Sometimes it will result in the lights or fan not working, or not turning on.

2) You may have a bad magnetron. See this FixYa solution.

Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your full model number from the tag on the unit) for more information & help.

After calling many numbers, I was put in contact with the manufacturer, Galanz Microwave, and was told that that beeping is due to a burned out part in the keypad that is not servicable. I, too, have this annoying model!

have a good look at front to see reset??.press it once it comes back on unplug from the wall and & open it up and go to the part and give it a good clean with wd40, check the push pad for ware & tare dirt gathers and builds up

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for maybe an hour. Then let us know if the hard reset does not fix it.

Please reply back with your brand and model number so we can help you.

Since it's less than one year old, it should be fully covered under warranty. I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to get it fixed free.

I've attached the portion of the manual which shows how to lock & unlock this model.

If that doesn't work, unplug the oven for one minute, plug it back in aga9in, then try again.

If it still doesn;t work, then your keypad has failed, and they are no longer available for these model, so the oven would have to be retired.

Good luck.
