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.

Select the operation you want (bake, broil, cookies, etc., not toast), then select desired temperature with up/down arrows, then select the amount of time with the up/down arrows and push convection button. This works for me.

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.

No. It appears in every way identical to a unit we purchased locally several years ago. The convection function in that unit failed, probably due to a circuit board trace that opened when the unit heated up. The microwave function remained operational. We were very pleased to find the identical product as we liked its performance and were familiar with its operation.

Yes, you never have to use the microwave mechanism. Every Microwave / Convection oven I have had has worked this way including this one. Some allow multiple stages using both, but I have never done this. I have just used the microwave by itself to cook something or I have just used the convection. Never both for the cooking the same item. This is my third Micro / Convection and my favorite so far. My toaster Oven as well as my regular oven are also convection ovens. So I haven't used it much. In my motorhome my Micro / Convection is the only oven I have, so it gets used quite a bit. A professional cooking instructor has told me she uses convection for almost everything, except baking cakes and the like.

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 rarely microwave food, but I did tonight and the plate didn't seem overly hot. I did run an experiment, though, with a cup of water. The cup got pretty hot, but the handle was just warm. The water was in the microwave for 2 minutes and very hot and steamy. I usually just run it for 1:30 minutes. The cup would have been too hot on the lips. with this experiment. I hope this 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 really varies with your oven and cooking technique. I use a commercial convection oven with the ability to inject steam this is a game changer over standard home ovens. using a convection oven I usually drop the temperature by 50 degrees and cook for the same time and experiment with the steam (which I usually use by the way). That being said the timing is somewhere about half of the usual time, I simply cook things until they are done keeping good notes in my cooking notebook/computer. Good Luck

the time setting on this unit is set at 30 second increments, so you would have to push the button 14 times for your seven minute cook time. Sound strenuous? It's not really, the button is very responsive and I've never thought to myself, "Gee, I wish I had purchased a different microwave because of this darn button." A little side note...this microwave is a conversation piece, so if you have really boring kitchen guests, maybe you can use the seven minutes to explain what this unit is.

Hmmm...I just used my hotplate tonight. I have two microwaves: one 800 watts, the other 1000. I heat it on high for two minutes. If what you say is true, I would return it for another. I would suggest asking for a refund, but I love this thing. Be glad no one was hurt! What wattage is the oven? Are you SURE she was using a MICROWAVE, no regular or convection OVEN?

My microwave works rather hot, but I just use the regular setting and put in two potatoes for about 7 minutes.

I don't know what the problem might be. I always add water up to the line and sometimes microwave for closer to 4 minutes instead of the recommended three and I've never had any problem with melting or burning. (My microwave is a 1000 watt unit and I always use full power.)

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.

you add about 2 tbs of water and cook about 2 min then check to see if done ..might be a little longer all microwaves are different temps..hope this helps

it probably does. you would have to experiment. since 5 egss takes about 8 min you might try 2 min for 1 and then check for doneness. you can always adjust time depending on your type of microwave. the nordic holds 4 (i stack 1 on top) making it 5 egss being cooked. i really enjoy mine. good luck.

I commiserate with you about your convection oven. I haven't been happy with mine since day one. I'm not having the same problem you're having but I don't like the way it functions.
