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
Damp in the ignition circuit
Year-round humidity works on igniter leads and earth paths, producing intermittent lighting that dries out and returns.
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.
