FIXED Return or Keep - New Sharp Model R344 Cooling Fan does not always stop at the end of the cooking operation

[NeedToKnow]

Model Number

R344

Brand

Sharp

Age

Less than 1 year

I just purchased a new Sharp R344 Microwave oven. I am concerned that it may be faulty, but I am not certain.
Is it normal for the cooling fan to continue running after an operation ends? An operation completes, and I can open
the door and remove my food, but the fan continues to run for 2-3 minutes. This does not happen all the time. In the
few days that I've been using this microwave, it has happened at least 4-5 times. Should I return this oven for a
replacement or is this normal? There is nothing related in the accompanying operation manual. Thanks in advance . . .

Hi,

We have no technical information on European products, if your owners manual does NOT mention it should do those things, then go back to the store you bought it from and ask the salesperson that sold it to you.

Thanks much. I contacted helpdeskMWO.GB@sharphomeappliances.com and they replied:
"It is normal for the cooling fan to run for 2-3 minutes after use and this wouldn't indicate the microwave is faulty."
So, all is well. 😃

Wonderful.

Thanks for the update!
