Microwave turns itself on

My 2021 Frigidaire also turned on by itself 2 days ago. It also got hot and would not turn off except at the breaker. After 10 minutes I turned breaker on and the microwave was still on. Turned breaker on the next morning and all good. We are afraid to leave house unless we turn breaker off. Any suggestions? Do I need a new microwave?

The microwave is not supposed to shut off if you have food in it. it is designed to stay running so you will not forget your popcorn.

Please Heidi,

FOR SAFETY REASONS...
It is vital that you have all covers in place and the MICROWAVE fully contained at all times when operating.

You have a high frequency radio there...

It is best to always have a substantial amount (like a cup of water) to absorb the energy...


The best thing that can happen with the energy... it will turn back on the magnetron (source) and COOK ITSELF...

The worst... you will be feeling your own
eyeballs getting WARM.

BE SAFE (please).

If you got it hot enough from your soup there is a fan switch to turn the blower on to cool the unit. Maybe next time cook that on a different burner on the stove to try to not heat up that area under the microwave.

I had the same problem, but didn't have the box anymore. The store let me exchange it for another one but that one is doing the same thing too.

Why don't you return it? I think this is a common problem. We returned ours to Home Depot with no questions asked.

could it be that i didn't follow the manuel because i got it second hand or is it because something is wrong with it,and i have to get it fixed.

I had the same problem and found that the "demo mode" had been enabled. Turned it off and everything worked fine.

Time for a service call. Should not turn on by itself at any cause. Circuit board is my guess. May be cheaper/easier to get new microwave. My first one lasted about 15 yrs--and the circuit board (touchpad) died. Bought new microwave oven.
