More than one microwave symptom can appear during the same failure.

Mention whether the problem began after a normal cycle, a power interruption, a cleaning attempt, or a change in use. If there is a display, write the message down before clearing it so the timing and exact wording are not lost. Use the appliance only if it appears safe, and ask during the call when you are unsure whether continued use is sensible. Good notes are especially useful when the appliance has several symptoms or has already been reset.
If food, laundry, or dishes are trapped by the failure, say so during the call. Those details can affect urgency and the safest next step.
