Ewave otr microwave

I had cooked in the microwave for 30 minutes and then the fan came on all by it self. I could not turn it off. After an hour or so we tried to unplug it to maybe reset it but it still did not turn off. I have cooked for 30 min or longer before and not had this issue. Is the microwave safe to use? Can it be fixed or do I need to get a new one?

Microwave turns itself off and reset after a few minutes. Is ther a sensor causing this. It only happens every once in awhile. The first time this happened my wife started it without anything in it.

Some microwaves have a sensor built in so if the oven gets to hot the fan will come on to help cool it down. It should shut off when it senses it is cooled down to the proper temp. If it will not shut off the sensor may be defective. Its your choice to either call a service tech to repair it or just replace it. I would weigh the cost of the repair to a new unit.

My GE OTR Microwave Model # JVM3670SK02 overheated when I tried to cook rice for 30 minutes...two times in a row. What could be the problem?
why are you cooking rice for 30 minutes in a microwave????? the problem is that a microwave IS NOT A RICE COOKER!!!use a rice cooker or use instant rice and heat the water for 2 1/2 minutes only!! OR BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSE!!

OTR Samsung Microwave fan comes on with no reason. Any way to fix it?
Does this happen while you are cooking on the range burners under the control panel?? These type microwaves have a heat sensor built into them in the area of the control panel bottom. If the microwave control gets too hot from cooking on the stove below it the heat sensor will turn the fan on to keep the control panel from getting heat damage. The fan should go off after everything cools off.

What is the cfm of a goldstar OTR microwave oven model mv-1500mg
CFM would be "cubic feet per minute", which is a measure of how much air the cooling or vent fan pushes. That specification is not listed in the Goldstar / LG owner's manuals or service manuals I've seen.
If you might mean the cubic feet (CF) size of the cooking cavity, the M1500-series have 1.5CF capacities.

How do I stop the vent fan on my Amana OTR microwave (AMV1162AAW)
see the block diagram, unppluged the machine, and disconnect only 1 wires or 2 wires and wrapping with electric tape individual.
However I will NOT recommend to do this, because the fan cool the magnetron, that emite radiation for heating the foods.
God bless you

Steam comes out from bottom of the door when OTR unit is on for more than 5 minutes on high. I can feel warm air underneath microwave especially near the handle. Help!
You should make sure your filters and ductwork are clean and clear and that your microwave's fan is running while cooking.

Ewave OTR Microwave Oven, Model KOT-153UW. Light
We see (and repair) this a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which we regularly repair nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a week or so.

At our Web site, you can get details of our service, plus we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a failure on the controller.

The lights can can be inoperable or stuck on or no bright, too. Sometimes this will similarly affect the exhaust fan operation or inside light, too.Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your full model number from the tag on the unit) for more information & help.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

OTR Amana microwave- No power, lights, clock or sounds.
Either your magnetron, cooling fan, or the magnetron thermostat is failing.

Since it's less than one year old, it would be fully covered under warranty. I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to get it fixed free.

Amana / Whirlpool customer service is here.

Please contact them to find your nearest authorized service center.

Vent fan high comes on automatically with cooking
Right, that would be MCO10UW and the owner's manual is here.

The owner's manual does say this, of course,

"To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust
fan is designed to automatically turn on at a low speed if
excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the
fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will
automatically turn off when the internal parts have
cooled. The fan may stay on for up to an hour after the
range and microwave oven controls have been turned
off."

That;'s standard on microwaves.

But these models do have a separate internal cooling fan (which should run any time you microwave) plus the hood vent exhaust fan, which should only run when you select it, or if there is an excessive stovetop or under-hood temperature.

So if it comes on whenever you microwave, that is incorrect.

When that happens, it's usually a defective vent thermal switch (a.k.a. hood TCO).

But since it's brand new, I would certainly contact Magic Chef about this. If it's in need of repair, they will fix it free, assuming the oven wasn't physically damaged.

Replace OTR Microwave
Thanks for responding. It is a EWave KOT-152UW. I think EWave is part of Magic Chef. I think it is the door switch. When I opened the microwave, the circuit breaker tripped. I reset the circuit breaker, and it worked for several days, but the last time, the microwave went dead. The reason I want to use the same bracket is it has through the wall (horizontal) venting to the outside, and I am not keen on trying to cut more holes.

Microwave stopped working completely
Fan turned on after cooking because a thermostat got to hot and tripped turning on the fan to try to cool the unit.  The unit went completely dead when thermal fuse tripped which is located above the cavity on the left side.
