Nonsense design by manufacturer

2 years ago

I have this build-in microwave oven from Jenn-air. i thought it might malfunction, but after reading the manual, this is by design.


symptom: turntable continues to rotate after cooking cycle is complete.

answer from the troubleshooting in the manual: this is normal and allows for proper cooling of the microwave oven. the turntable, microwave oven light and cooling fan will continue to run until the microwave door is opened or Cancel is pressed.


in my case, turntable and light are off, but the cooling fan continues to run. Even if i cook something for 2 seconds, and leave it in the oven, the cooling fan would run forever until i open the door.


any thoughts about why it is by design? the cooling fan is very loud while running.
