Troubleshooting common microwave problems

If your Samsung microwave isn’t working as expected, these troubleshooting tips can help you identify the issue.

• Turntable not rotating. If the turntable isn’t spinning, check the control settings, as some models allow turntable rotation to be turned off. If the turntable is enabled but still not moving, the motor may need replacement.
• Arc or burn marks. Noticing arc or burn marks in your microwave? These can occur due to damaged surfaces or faulty components. Follow our guide to address these issues safely and restore your microwave’s interior.
• No power. Verify that the microwave is plugged into a functional outlet. If the outlet has power but the microwave won’t turn on, a damaged power cord or an electronic control board issue might be the cause.
• Samsung microwave not heating. If your microwave isn’t heating, the issue may stem from a blown fuse. Use caution when replacing the fuse and follow our guide on how to replace a microwave fuse.
• Fan running continuously. Many Samsung microwaves include a temperature sensor that activates the exhaust fan when heat is detected from below. If the fan won’t turn off, the temperature sensor may need to be replaced.

Safety Reminder: Always unplug your microwave before attempting any troubleshooting or repairs. High-voltage capacitors in microwaves can retain a dangerous charge even when unplugged, so leave internal repairs to professionals whenever possible.

Essential replacement parts for Samsung microwaves

Keep your microwave in excellent condition by replacing these commonly worn or damaged parts:

• Glass turntable tray. If the tray is broken or missing, replace it to ensure even cooking.
• Air filters. Replace clogged aluminum mesh or charcoal filters regularly to maintain optimal airflow and performance.
• Door handles. Damaged door handles can impact functionality. Professional service may be required to replace handles due to shielding components in the door assembly.
• Light bulbs. Interior and cooktop bulbs are easy to replace but essential for visibility and functionality.
• Door switch. The door switch signals the control board that the microwave door is securely closed. Replace it if the microwave doesn’t start despite the door being properly shut.
• Fuse. A blown fuse can interrupt the microwave’s operation. Replace it carefully, following safety precautions and your owner’s manual.
