Microwave vent
I have a IRIS and a Whirlpool microwave. It is not an automatic fan. I never knew (if it does) it had such a feature. I have to turn fan on manually which is the way I want it. I also have a vent to the outside which is the way it should be. I don't know if yours is newer ?? I moved into my IRIS in 2012. so yours may be a newer upgrade??

Our microwave is vented. When we had our home inspection they found the vent had separated at a seam and had the warranty dept fix it.

It is a safety feature. It also adds to the longevity of the microwave. Go the the appliance manufacturers website ( I found it annoying also, so I went to Whirlpools website) I did not read anything that would allow you to turn the fan off manually. It is what is is. Our cam with the house also and we had no clue.

Believe the fire code is 18 inches between stove to microwave, make sure you have that in addition to the other comments already made by others.

You are lucky. But, many of the microwave ovens have no venting to the outside.

I wonder if the different venting options are related to gas vs electric stoves?
If you haven't already, you might try a small experiment by using the smaller front burner rather than the larger one that (in my unit) is directly under the handle of the microwave and gives off more heat. All bets are off if multiple burners are in use! Good luck with a fix and let us know. |
