| Error Code / Indicator | Symptom / Meaning | Possible Cause | Step-by-Step DIY Fix | Suggested Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
N/A | The microwave won't power up at all | Not connected to the mains correctly, a blown fuse, or a power cut. | Confirm the appliance is properly plugged into the mains. Check the fuse inside the moulded plug hasn't blown, and check your own fuse box for a blown fuse too. Also rule out a power cut. Get a qualified electrician involved if fuses keep blowing repeatedly. | DIY Check / Tech Fallback |
N/A | The microwave won't begin cooking | The door is not properly shut, or the door seal is dirty. | Make sure the door is fully closed, and check the door seal and the area around it are clean. | DIY Safe |
N/A | The turntable is not turning | Either the turntable isn't seated on the drive motor properly, the dish being used is too big, or something's blocking the base from turning. | Check the turntable is seated correctly on the drive motor, that your dish isn't bigger than the turntable itself (with food not overhanging it), and that nothing underneath is stopping the base from rotating. | DIY Safe |
N/A | The microwave won't turn off | — | Cut the microwave's mains supply straight away and get in touch with Baumatic's Customer Care team. | Professional Intervention Required |
N/A | The bulb lighting the inside of the oven has stopped working | — | This bulb can only be swapped out by a trained service technician, so call Baumatic's Customer Care team to arrange it. | Professional Intervention Required |
N/A | Food is not cooking properly | Incorrect power level/cooking time for the food, doubled quantity of food, or food colder than normal. | Make sure the power level and time you've set actually suit what you're cooking. Roughly double the quantity needs roughly double the time, and colder-than-usual food needs a higher power level and/or more time. | DIY Safe |
N/A | Condensation forming in the oven | A natural by-product of cooking in a microwave. | Take food out to cool rather than leaving it in the oven. Cooking in a covered container where practical helps cut down condensation, and any that does form should be wiped away as soon as cooking finishes. | DIY Safe |
