How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before removing the cover.
- Visual inspection: Locate the cooling fan (usually near the magnetron or on the rear panel). Check for foreign objects or insulation blocking the blades.
- Spin test: Gently spin the fan by hand. It should rotate freely without grinding. If stiff or seized, the motor is likely faulty.
- Check wiring: Inspect the fan motor connectors and wiring harness for heat damage or loose terminals.
- Electrical test: Measure the motor winding resistance and compare with Amica specifications. An open circuit or very high resistance indicates failure.
- Replace fan motor: If defective, replace the cooling fan motor assembly. Ensure correct orientation for airflow and secure mounting.
