LG Microwave – Troubleshooting Noises

At a Glance

Abnormal noises from your LG microwave can be caused if the turntable isn’t installed properly, using improper cookware, or food buildup inside the microwave.

Note

If an error code is displayed on the control panel, please visit our LG Microwave – Error Codes article for further assistance.

Try This

  1. Clean the Microwave Interior

    • Food buildup can accumulate over time in the interior of the oven leading to poor heating performance and noise during operation.
    • To clean the inside of the unit, heat up a cup or bowl of water for 2-3 minutes to soften and loosen food soil.
    • After doing this, wipe out the inside of the unit with a warm, wet cloth.

  2. Examine the Cookware Used

    • Do not use cookware lined with gold, silver, or any metallic patterns as this can cause sparks

  3. Check the Rotating Plate and Supporting Stand Installation

    • Ensure the tray and stand are in the correct position. If not, they may cause interference or instability during rotation, leading to noise.
    • If parts are damaged or broken, please visit LG Parts to order replacements.
