Red blinking lights on microwave

[SJ-Chris]

I have a 2015 Thor Majestic 28a. It has a Whirlpool microwave in it (...I couldn't find the model #). When it is running, it has these red blinking lights.



Seems to heat up just fine and doesn't make any unusual noises. Does anyone know what they mean?

Thanks!
Chris

If you open the door to the microwave can you locate a model number tag around the door seal or the inside of the door itself?

Oops...sorry; missed that.

*I* do not have the owner's manual. You can see in the thread above that someone else posted a link to an owner's manual. I looked there and saw what it says. Hope that helps.

Yes I can think of several red blinking lights that indicate normal operation. A fairly long list in fact. One (well two) are in the next room as I type and two more (same lights different device) in my car .

I'm not sure exactly what model you have, but I found an owners manual for a similar looking microwave, and it includes this diagram:



I can't make out the red indicator on the left on your photo, but by position, that appears to be the "Microwaves" icon, which I think just means that oven is operating. The one on the right looks like the "high power" icon.

THANK YOU!! What a pleasant surprise....According to the owner's manual, these blinking red icons are NORMAL. (...Can anyone think of any other blinking red lights in life that are a good sign?? LOL...)

Yes, the icon in my photo on the left appears to match the owner's manual for "Microwaves" and it is supposed to blink when in operation.

Thanks!

The lights appear to have some (small) text in them, like dashboard idiot lights in some cars. What does that text say?
