How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the cavity to cool before cleaning.

Cleaning and usage:

  • Clean the interior thoroughly, especially near the sensor opening on the upper wall or ceiling.
  • Use microwave-safe, vented covers when using sensor modes to allow steam to reach the sensor.
  • Avoid using sensor modes for very small portions or extremely dry foods.

If sensor performance remains poor:

  • The humidity sensor may be out of calibration or failing and should be replaced by a Wolf technician.
