My microwave works fine but the clock/display light keeps going dim, even when the unit is not in operation. If I tap it it gets bright again temporarily. Is this a minor problem or a symptom of a serious malfunction? Thanks.

The clock light on our JVM6175 microwave is very bright. Is there a way to dim it?

As some others have suggested elsewhere, I purchased and applied Display Dimming Film available online. I suggest using a single piece that completely covers the opening (will probably require trimming to fit) rather than having two or three smaller pieces abut, otherwise sparkles of light will shine through the spices. Once you have this film, you will likely find other uses for it. For example a digital clock near a TV, or a overly bright power indicator light on desktop computer speaker, or the power indicator on the desktop computer itself that stays on in standby mode through the night.

Fgmv174kfb dim display

The owner's manual (here) does not mention that as a feature, so I would assume the oven has a defect and would need to be returned to your dealer to be exchanged under warranty.

A defective diode or magnetron can cause the oven to sound differently and not to cook.

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.
