LG Microwave Sparking Inside
Microwave Sparking Inside is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Corroded earth and igniter leads
Marine air degrades the connections an ignition circuit depends on, giving intermittent lighting that comes and goes with the weather.
A dirty or misaligned igniter
Debris or grease buildup prevents a clean spark, which is the single most common cause of ignition failure.
A faulty gas valve or regulator
Controls gas flow to the burner and can fail independently of the igniter.
Local conditions that matter here
Coastal air and heavy cooking load together shorten the useful life of a hood filter and its motor bearings. Extraction that has quietly fallen off is usually load rather than a dead fan.
