How to Troubleshoot the Emerson MW8992RD

The Emerson MW8992RD microwave has many features, including a glass rotating tray, defrost, safety lock, preset food programs, child lock, clock, automatic timer, door screen, add time button, memory function and electronic control panel. Sold online or in many department or appliance stores, the microwave should generally operate well with standard maintenance, cleaning and care. If owners do experience problems with the Emerson microwave, troubleshooting techniques may help find the source of the issue.

Instructions

    • 1

      Connect the power cord firmly to a functional power outlet if the microwave does not function. Remove other appliances from the same outlet and replace or reset the fuse or circuit breaker as needed.

    • 2

      Open the microwave door and shut it firmly so that it clicks if there is power but the microwave continues not to operate.

    • 3

      Press "Stop/Cancel" and hold for three seconds to ensure the child lock feature is not engaged if none of the control pads operate.

    • 4

      Press "Stop/Cancel" and set a new cooking program if the microwave does not start when "Start" is pressed. A delay start or previous function may still be programmed.

    • 5

      Remove any and all metal utensils or cookware from the microwave if sparking is seen during use.
