My convection Microwave will only run 59 seconds at a time. On any time or temp. I program. Then it shuts off. Am I doing something wrong? It does microwave and heat in the 59 secs. it is on.

I had the same problem & would have to stand by & keep pressing start. I had it checked, to no avail. I gave up & bought a new microwave.....

It's been several months since we replaced ours, so only going on memory here. There was a 'one minute' button which would heat on high for one minute. If you enter say 530, it should heat for 5 minutes 30 seconds, at whatever power level selected. If it doesn't do that, it's defective. Try entering a time then hit the timer button, which should just time down and sound the alarm when the time is up. If that doesn't work either, you know it's defective. Good luck. (Our control panel worked fine for 10 years.)

Sorry, I sent my Sharp oven back (TWICE) because both ovens arrived with major shipping damage. Check with your vendor regarding the warranty. Good luck!

I use the convection oven almost every day. This may sound obvious but the number key pad sets the temp and time. I hit convec then #8 for 400d followed by say1000 for 10 minutes. Unlike a regular oven the time is in seconds, so if you press 59 that is 59 sec. If you are already doing that, I have no other solutions as I haven't had the same experience.

In a word no. This is only a microwave, not a convection oven with some other power source.

My guess is that we're given a specific heat time for our microwaves, and if you reheat it before it's completely cooled down you run the risk of overheating it, and it could possibly burst a seam or something.

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.

The one I bought worked 90 seconds, died, and I sent it back. I don't think the microwave had anything to do with the failure.

My guess is that it's defective. The one I had was; it quit working just over 6 months after I bought it. I recycled it as the trash that it was and bought a different brand. Based on my experience I would never buy another Hamilton Beach microwave again.

I don't think it is convection, though I stopped using it because it toasts so slowly. I bought a toaster instead.

I believe that my microwave is an 1100 W unit. I usually warm for 2 mins. Seems like it gets even warmer for a few mins. after I remove it, but then it does eventually cool down. This holds the heat very well, and I may warm even less the next time I use it. You have to trial and error it. If it's too hot, wait a few mins. before you use it. Next time you warm it, try 15 seconds less. Or you can warm for 30 secs. and feel it then rewarm it till you get the temp you want. I like mine as hot as I can stand it so I don't have to rewarm it as quickly. I like it. Hope that helps.

There are two buttons for cooking time. The one on the far right is for 30 seconds. The one just to the right of the clock is for 5 second intervals. After you tap the 5 second interval button you need to tap the 30 second button to add it to the time the microwave will cook. To do just 15 seconds you would tap the 5 second button 3 times and then tap the 30 second button. If you want to do 45 seconds you tap the 30 second button and then the 5 second button and then the 30 second button again. It took us a while to figure that out.

It wouldn't run mine. I had to return it. I have a 1000 w modified square wave inverter that does run my microwave. However, it takes longer to cook things.

Sorry. I checked the manual but there was no max time listed. It explains what to do in case it over heats but doesn't indicate how long before it happens.

I have never had that problem with mine. It seems to be fairly simple to operate......you turn it on, set the temperature, set the time, done. However, if you set it on the highest temp setting (which in my opinion is too hot) it will revert to the lowest temperature setting after 1 hour. I am not sure why. However, anything outside of this.....I would look into sending it back. I love this product and so do my clients.

This little oven is the best and you don't need the manual. Plug it in, look at the dials, decide what you want to (toast, convection, regular) and set the temperature dial as appropriate. You need to have the temperature set at 450 to toast. You need to set the timer at more than 10 minutes for convection. The convection function works great for reheating pizza, cooking broccoli florets and probably other things too. Good luck!

No I throw mine I'm the microwave for 30 seconds and a few minutes on dual. Set pizza kind of in center, I would highly recommend this pizza oven. I have given it as gifts it is loved. And does much more than pizza.

I had the same problem so I exchanged mine for a new one. The new one works fine. I believe the original one had a faulty thermal cutoff switch. Mine would run for a minute or two when I first started it and then cut off. 30 seconds later it would run again but only for a few seconds. I wondered if I was somehow stressing the machine to much, perhaps I was working it too hard. But I'm just re-tilling a garden so my soil is not hard. And the new one works great, though I'm using it exactly the same way. So if you have this problem, I suggest you exchange it for a new unit.

My is an older model and it said 4 minutes but I looked this clear model up on Google and it shows for a 1100 watt microwave or higher to do it for only 2 minutes. Hope this helps.

As I understand it, it is not convection but fancy way to modulate the microwave blast. This stays on at reduced power when you adjust the power setting whereas older microwaves went on and off with different timing of blasts to approximate a lower setting.
