the door.

 Dimming oven light and change in
the blower sound at power levels other than high.
 Dull thumping sound while oven is operating.
 TV/radio interference might be noticed while using the
microwave. Similar to
the interference caused by other small appliances, it
does not indicate a problem with the microwave. Plug
the microwave into a different electrical circuit, move
the radio or TV as far away from the microwave as
possible, or check the position and signal of the TV/radio
antenna.
