A convection microwave combines three functions: a standard microwave, a grill and a fan oven. It has all the parts of a standard microwave, plus the grill element, a ring element behind a fan that circulates hot air through the cavity so food cooks evenly like in an oven, and a temperature sensor (NTC) that controls the heat. Some models also have a steam function. Its most common faults: a burnt-out convection element, a stuck or noisy fan motor, a temperature sensor reading wrongly, and a control board that will not run convection mode. The most common brands: Samsung, LG, Sharp, Panasonic and Bosch.
Signs your Convection Microwave needs service
- Convection mode does not heat
- The convection fan does not turn or is noisy
- Food cooks more on one side than the other
- Normal microwave mode works but convection does not
- Convection cooking takes much longer than before
- The unit cuts out mid-cooking
- The steam function does not work (on steam models)

Tips to keep your Convection Microwave running
- Metal trays are fine in convection-only mode; in microwave or combi mode use glass or ceramic only — metal sparks
- Use the rack or tray supplied with the microwave as the manual describes
- Preheat when the recipe calls for it
- After cooking, let the cooling fan run until it stops on its own — do not unplug the microwave while it is hot
- Keep to the maximum cooking time in your model's manual
- If your model has a steam function, descale it when prompted or as the manual says
- Never open the casing — the high-voltage capacitor stays charged after unplugging

Convection Microwave — frequently asked questions
Is a convection microwave worth the price?
If you will use all three functions (microwave, grill and oven), yes — and in a small kitchen it can stand in for a small oven. For reheating only, a digital model is enough.
Convection mode does not heat — what is the cause?
Usually a burnt-out convection element, a stopped fan motor, a temperature sensor reading wrongly, or the control board. A diagnosis will pinpoint which — and do not open the microwave yourself.
The steam function does not work — what should I do?
Usually scale from the water has built up in the steam unit. Descale it as the manual explains; if it still does not work, call a technician.
Do you repair Samsung convection microwaves?
Yes — we repair convection models from Samsung, LG, Sharp, Panasonic, Bosch and others.
Do you install built-in convection microwaves?
Yes — we fit it into the cabinet to the sizes in the installation guide, connect it and test every function.
What makes a convection microwave last longer?
Good ventilation around the unit, letting the cooling fan finish after cooking, and cleaning off grease regularly. The actual lifespan depends on the model and how it is used.
