why does the microwave turn off most times when I press a button? I press 1:00, start, and pft....the microwave loses power

You might have a problem with the microwave ... or it might be your plug. Try moving the microwave to a completely different circuit. Or even a next door neighbor. Then try it out. Microwaves draw a lot of current. Is it blowing your circuit? Do you have to reset your circuit breakers? You need to identify whether it is the microwave or your power.

I just press the power button on mine until it turns off. It makes two sounds, the first time it makes a sound you have to keep holding down the button until it makes the second sound, after that it should turn off.

I have without any issues, I microwave it in a 1000 watt without any issues? Although I have never gone past 4:45 min in microwaving time :)

Hit Time cook on microwave, then put in your time to cook, then hit power level and put in your level and then hit start. Hopes this helps you.

That sounds like a defect in the unit. Mine stays on about 5 seconds, then turns off. There isn't a button that I know of to be able to turn it off. I'd write to the seller and ask for a replacement. That isn't normal.

Looks like you can't eliminate the audible signal in this model. Also there is nothing about that in the manual. I tried a few button combinations but that didn't work (in some, maybe all Samsung microwaves you simultaneously hold Start and Stop buttons for a few seconds to eliminate the signal).

I've had mine for years, and it's outlasted at least 3 different microwave ovens. I always set it for a minute a slice. Sometimes I even have to add a minute or two if I'm making a big batch. Sorry you got a lemon!

Sorry for the delayed response. Went to my spam. Basically it says that it delivers a more steady power when heating your food... even when using a lower temperature. I know with other microwaves, when I use a lower setting, you hear it click on and off. This microwave doesn't do it, thus providing a better heated food. I love this microwave. I love all the room it has too. I will never get a smaller one. ONLY this one. Get it!!

Hadn't noticed. My issue is that the microwave seems under-powered. How are your cook times?

On mine, the power button also changes the speed. Push it once to turn it on, and it is on the highest speed. Keep pushing it and it changes to the middle speed, then low speed. After reaching the low speed, you have to push it one more time to turn it off.

Yes, pretty much. You can press 4:00 and "Start" and it will run for four minutes on full power. The best feature of this oven is the "inverter" technology, however, which lets you set a power level, 1-10, and actually delivers that level of microwave power, as opposed to a normal microwave that, say, on power level 5 runs on full power for 10 seconds, then no power for 10 seconds. It really makes a difference.

If a microwave oven stops heating the food, but works in all other respects, this is likely an indication that the magnatron (the part that puts out the microwaves) or the high-voltage diode has failed. It's a very straightforward fix for a repair shop, but many times the replacement parts cost nearly as much as a whole new unit.

That happened with mine also. For me, holding the power button down for a ridiculously long time worked and it powered on. 99% of the time, it turns on easily now. Only once since then has it failed to power up normally. Holding the power button for the prolonged time was successful again. Best of luck!

I believe the button will need to be manually pressed as the power does not come on to the unit just by plugging it in. If you have frequent outages, have you considered using a UPS (universal power supply) to connect it, which can keep it running during short outages... In which case if the power comes back on shortly thereafter you won't need to manually restart since it won't have quit in the first place?

Not sure what the issue was Mary but I haven't seen any trouble with mine since I got it. By the way it is the best microwave I have ever had... love this one!

When you are using the dial it will light. It does not stay illuminated when the microwave is "resting".

The microwave has a "whirring" sound while it is cooking food. When done, the "whirring" sound stops, and the digital display changes from counting down time to "Enjoy your meal." FWIW, I've been very pleased with this microwave. It's easy to use and works well.
