Generic problem for all Microwave Ovens
Clicking sound while running (by 2 users)
posted by Silktia on Dec 03, 2007
Hi -
My over-the-stove Kenmore microwave has recently started clicking when it is running. I was told to discontinue using the microwave because this could indicate a radiation leak from the microwave.
I wanted to know if there is any possibility of this being correct. If not, what do you think the problem could be & how much would it cost to replace it?
Thanks.

Loud clicking noise when running. Noise comes from right side of microwave, the clock side. If I press on the door the clicking stops, but returns when I stop pressing on the door. Its sounds like eletrical sparking, but there are no sparks or anything and the microwave still cooks.

It sounds more like a failing turntable, fan or stirrer, but it would need to be checked to be sure.
