Samsung microwave fan turns on by itself

If your microwave turns on by itself after you close the door you may need to clean the door, check the latch, or ensure that the door is closed all the way. But if your cooktop lamp will not turn off, then it may just be wet from recent cooking. Follow this guide to get things back to normal.

Vent fan is weak on Samsung over-the-range microwave

The vent fan on your over-the-range microwave is useful for keeping smoke and steam clear from the microwave. It will even turn on automatically if the microwave is getting too hot. But if the fan strength isn't strong enough to hold up a napkin, you may feel like it's not working. Fortunately, there's an easy way to tell.

Samsung microwave is beeping

Beeping is a common function on microwaves. It beeps when you touch it, when it's done cooking, and, on some models, when your food is done but you haven't removed it yet. If the microwave is beeping when you're not using it, and pressing the Stop/Clear button doesn't stop it, there are a couple things you can try.

Turntable does not rotate and is making noise

The turntable is designed to, well, turn. The continuous rotation generally assists the microwave in providing more even heating of your food. When it's not rotating correctly, there's often a grinding noise as well (or the setting is turned off). A dirty track or roller ring can also cause it to get stuck. Finally, make sure it's positioned correc

Samsung microwave error codes

If you get an error code service is pretty much needed. First though, it's possible that if you power cycle the microwave, you may clear the error. And if you think moisture may have gotten in the microwave, that could be causing errors too, so let it dry.

Microwave control panel does not respond

If the microwave has power, but will not respond to any commands or only certain buttons work, clean the control panel and try a power cycle. If the panel still doesn't respond, service is required.

Why does my Samsung microwave fan come on by itself?

This is normal. The microwave oven's cooling fan (on some models), which is separate from the vent fan, automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may also automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven's controls while the cooktop below is being used.

Why does my microwave automatically turn on?

One of the most common reasons why your microwave turns on by itself could be stuck switches. The interlock switch in the door may be stuck or in some cases, the interlock relay on the control panel could also be stuck. Make sure you either check this yourself or ask for professional help.

Why does my microwave fan turn on when I close the door?

If your microwave turns on by itself after you close the door you may need to clean the door, check the latch, or ensure that the door is closed all the way. But if your cooktop lamp will not turn off, then it may just be wet from recent cooking. Follow this guide to get things back to normal.

Why won't my microwave fan shut off?

Faulty air filters Sometimes the air filters get clogged. The air filters are important as they absorb dirt and dust and prevent them from getting inside the machine. Over time, dirt and dust can build up inside air filters, resulting in a blockage. Check the air filters if your microwave vent fan won't turn off.
