Looks like the micro wave has packed in (not heating) Lost the instruction manual and these symbols appear in red so presumably some sort of warnings. Anyone got any ideas what they mean in case I can sort it before I bin it. Its an asda cheapy about 4 years old.
I don't think they're warnings.
I'd take the squiggly lines to mean a built in grill.
The "1S" and "2S" normally mean "one stage" and "two stage" cooking.
Not sure about the "bowl" icons the onw with solid steam might be constant heating, the (non illuminated) one with dotted steam might be intermittent heating?
Fault code 30?
Dunno, could just be 30 seconds, it would help if the O/P told us the make/model
Looks like it might be on grill or oven setting. Otherwise the only applicable warning is re the HV capacitor that occasionally stores thousands of volts, enough to cremate the unwary.

The 30 is the timer, I had to use that to switch it on to show the red symbols. The model is: asda Model P80D20EP-Y6A
Thats all the infor from the label on the back of it.
Microwave ovens tend not to have diagnostics, but I suppose yours could be an exception.
It looks to me as if the processor chip has crashed. I take it that you have power cycled it at the mains plug.
Does that :30 seconds appear when you plug it in?
The 30 seconds is the countdown timer for cooking that will vary depending on what I set it at., I set that so the red lights would come on. Yes switched it off at the main for 20 minutes and back on.
Check that none of the tac switches are stuck. In other words press each button and make sure it "feels right"
What's the make and model

My conventional oven has similar symbols on its timer. You haven'y by any chance got part way through programming an "end time" and it is awaiting a duration to be programmed in?
Not that I am aware of, will get the wife to double check.
previous poster.... The model is: asda Model P80D20EP-Y6A
Searching for just the main part of the model, shows it's sold by Russell Hobbs and Akai, as well as ASDA, but I couldn't find any free manuals for it online.
Thanks for looking Andy. I have failed to find anything online as well even more so with asda, it was like a game of ping pong going from dept to dept then the said they would send a manual (eventually) and the email had no manual but a statement saying they had resolved the issue! emailed their COE now see if that will get a response.
had similarly fruitless experience with an asda nuke. A 'cook this long at this power' UI that needs instructions is a bad one.

There is an online manual for the Akai P80D20EP, but visually it looks quite a different model.
Are you sure the red symbols aren't a red herring?
What I am suggesting is if the oven was operating normally, those red symbols are displayed, it's just that you wouldn't have taken much notice of them until the fault developed.
I realise that the food is not heated but: Does the turntable rotate? and Does the oven make its normal humming sound?
I too have searched. It appears to be the Amica MW13162 Si, made in Poland in 2010, but no longer on the Amica website, and no manuals anywhere. I see that Asda doesn't offer online manuals.
Yes it appears to work as normal except it doesnt heat and normally those red symbols would`nt appear.

This might show the intent of the symbol with the cooking pot and could give a clue to the intention of the logic:
Does it have a conventional heating element and/or a grill element? If so do they still work?
