What to do when WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK shows on the microwave

### Kind of code Power and supply

The microwave has noticed trouble with the power reaching it: an outage or a brownout that interrupted a cycle, a voltage too low for the magnetron to start, or a supply that dipped when something else on the circuit switched on. As often as not the cause is the circuit, the outlet in the cabinet above or the breaker rather than the unit; a main fuse that blows again after a reset points inside, where only a technician goes.

### Usually leads to Microwave diagnostic visit

A visit that times a cup of water against the clock, checks the door and its switches, then tests the high-voltage section, the controls and the moving parts one at a time until a single part is named.

### Shows up as What a Microwave Error Code Is Telling You

A microwave error code may be a letter and a number on the display, a lock or demo word, a row of dashes, or a beep with a blinking clock, and it can show while the microwave still heats or block every key until it is cleared.

### Make Fisher & Paykel

Fisher & Paykel microwaves looked at where they are built in, with the first minutes spent on the door, its seal and the latch feel.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press STOP/CLEAR, then set the clock again.

02

If you were cooking, check the food and start the program again from the beginning.

03

If the message keeps coming back with no storm or outage, check whether the breaker or a GFCI upstream is tripping.

04

If the microwave itself trips the breaker, stop using it and book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [microwave diagnostic visit](https://microwaverepair.center/services/diagnostic-visit/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

The message itself is a reminder, not a problem in the microwave. A microwave that shows it several times a day, or that trips the breaker as it starts, has a supply or internal problem that needs a visit.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK.

### Can I clear WELCOME PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK myself?

Press STOP/CLEAR, then set the clock again. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why does my Fisher & Paykel microwave keep asking me to press CLEAR and CLOCK?

Each time it does, it has lost power. A single outage explains one message; repeated ones point at the circuit, the outlet in the cabinet above the hood, or a breaker that is tripping.

### Did the power cut damage my microwave?

Usually not. Set the clock, run a cup of water for a minute, and if it heats and the fan and light work, carry on.

### Why is the display on my Fisher & Paykel microwave drawer flashing?

The drawer guide lists a flashing display as the sign of a power failure. Press STOP/CLEAR and reset the clock to stop it.
