Is there a fix for this problem My guess is the microwave is detecting too much radiation coming back at the magnetron because there is not enough thermal load in a bag of popcorn. Although popcorn is a very common use of the microwave, it is tough on them. |

Although popcorn is a very common use of the microwave, it is tough on them. To take this guess a little further .. http://031d26d.namesecurehost.com/mwd/blog.htm A simple solution is to add about 1/2 to 1 cup of water in a microwave-safe container in the back corner of the oven and cook your popcorn a little longer. You'll have to experiment a few times to get the combination right for your particular model. John T. |

Is there a fix for this problem Brenda- Chances are the microwave is not compatible with your particular type of popcorn. Is it plain popcorn in a microwave popper? Is it "microwave" popcorn in a bag with other seasoning? It is always possible the microwave is defective. If you tell the make and model, someone may have experience with it. Fred |

Would it be practical to swap microwaves with your parents? If so, see how yours does at making exactly the same popcorn at their place. |
