The Microwave Runs and Stops

The Microwave Runs and Stops

A microwave is one of those appliances most of us cannot live without. Whenever a microwave stops working, we get immensely frustrated. One of the most common malfunctions is when, after starting it up, the microwave runs for a few seconds and then shuts off. Several malfunctioning parts are causing this issue. Let’s discuss the most common problems to understand which part you need to replace. 

• The door switch might start malfunctioning early in the cycle, causing the microwave to think the door is open and shut off for safety reasons. 
• Sometimes, a faulty touchpad and control panel can trick a microwave into shutting off prematurely. If your microwave is shutting off soon after starting, and some buttons on your touchpad are not working, or the display is not correct, this is the likely culprit. 
• The Thermo protector issues may be another reason why your microwave stops. 
• The microwave may stop if there is a fault in the main control board. In this case, it may be difficult to repair the appliance. Calling a professional or simply replacing the microwave altogether may be best.
