My microwave is having excessive sweat - Kenmore 64282 Convection/Microwave Oven

Hello,
No sweat, really easy. press clock button once for 12hr twice for military time, then enter time, press clock button again.

Did u have warranty means pls claim..

hi there some times the power cables pop off in microwaves you will have to open it up and have a look around and check for loose wires sometimes the sweat shops that these thing are built in don't push the plugs on right or don't screw the earth wire on properly belive it or not this has been the case most of the times i've fixed them more often then not hope this helps but it could also be transformer among other things

THE SWITCH INSIDE THE DOOR LOCK IS FAULTY AND NEEDS REPLACING...GET IT FIXED IN A REPAIR SHOP..U CANTR FIX IT URSELF...

Foods that are low in density or low in moisture (such as bacon and popcorn, respectively) can cause the magnetron to overheat.

That's because there is not enough of either mass or moisture to absorb enough of the microwave energy put out by the oven.

The excess energy then reflects back to the magnetron and causes a standing wave (like a poorly tuned transmitter antenna) and causes the magnetron to overload and overheat.

When the mag gets too hot, it trips the magnetron thermostat, a protective device which rests when it cools.

If this overheating is a persistent problem, a stopgap is to put about 1/3 to 1/2 a cup of water in a microwave-safe container (a Pyrex measuring cup is ideal) in a REAR CORNER of the microwave whenever you cook such items. This will help absorb excess energy, but you may have to increase cooking time just a little.

And of course I always suggest that food items be placed off-center in the microwave, NOT in the center of the turntable, otherwise the food is not exposed evenly enough to the microwave energy and will not heat as efficiently as it could.

(Placing it in the center is sort of like stirring paint by twirling a stick in the center instead of pulling it around in a circle in the paint can).

Such inefficient heating wastes the energy at best, and at worst it puts a strain on the magnetron.

If a magnetron is repeatedly subjected to such stress, it will prematurely fail. It will also draw excessive current, which can strain the high-voltage transformer.

That in turn will often lead to the oven's drawing excessive current, resulting in a hot cord and plug, and the fuse will blow - hopefully before the transformer or magnetron does!

An overheating magnetron can be due to:

• operating oven without cover(s) in place
• wrong magnetron installed in oven
• an old or otherwise failing magnetron
• cracked magnetron magnet
• improper power line voltage (should be 110-125VAC)
• foods low in moisture (popcorn & bacon, e.g. - add 1/2 cup of water in rear oven)
• failed or inoperable cooling fan or hood vent exhaust fan
• deteriorating foam weatherstripping seals in air ducts or on outside cover
• blocked air vents (dust, animal nest debris, insufficient free air space behind & around oven, etc.)
• clogged or greasy charcoal filter or grease filter
• blocked duct in hood vent exhaust

whats this got to do with a micr wave?? But in reply to your question,, if the pan is always full under your Fridge, your evaporator isn't working correctly

Could be a reset or fuse within may just have popped Beware of excessive internal Voltages when servicing...

First you should be sure the ventilation is correct through the oven.

If you don't feel air through the vents when it's running, that needs to be addressed.

Also, it's important to wipe off the interior surfaces whenever moisture seems to be accumulating.

Also, it's recommended to leave the door open a few minutes after cooking to allow it to dry.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you need more help.

We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

No. This is usually a sign of poor venting or air flow. It's possible that the coling fan is not circulating the air properly due to a problem with it or maybe the air vents are blocked. Also, there needs to be a couple of inches around a countertop model on all sides - especially the back - to ensure air flow. Look for buildup on the back vent grille. You can listen for the fan to be running and feel the air flow while it's running. If it's weak or not there, it needs inspection / service. A lack of air flow can cause the magnetron to overheat and be damaged. If this is a built-in model also check your air filter, air duct work and outdoor vent flap. Write back if you still have trouble.
