Small amount of white smoke coming out of kenmore convection microwave in oven mode

You need to take it to a Service Centre. They are too dangerous to work on yourself and the case is secured by special security screws. You can check the back to see if there is a screw in, out pull out fuse carrier.

When convection mode is used heater inside gets heated and as you say that the previous owner never used this mode,when ever the heater used for the first time it may produce smoke as the coating over it heats up giving smoke,no need to worry use it regularly it will work perfectly

I would not recommend it, removal will insure long life.

If you press "convection" the oven works just like a regular oven except that the element is on top. In "microwave" it works like a microwave oven. All you have to do is decide which mode you want to use and then punch in the time and hit "start". The glass plate is not really a necessity as long as you make sure there is a load in the oven when you are "microwaving".

It's not unusual for there to be some smoke and smell the first few times you use it.

Try it a few times and see if it lessens each time.

If so, then you're probably okay. If not, then it needs to be checked.

This should all be covered in your service manual.

If for some reason you don't have yours, you may be able to download the installation instructions from the Sears parts site.

Just enter your full model number there.

A full Sears/Kenmore model number has 3 digits, a dot, then 8 more digits, such as ###.########

On the resulting page, look to the right for the blue "View manuals" button. Click there.



That Sears-related site has many free manuals. While the manuals they list there are all free, they may ask you to register.
