Posted .Hi, Andy. Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding your LG Microwave (MSER1590S. We understand how concerning it must have been to experience a strong odor and a triggered fire alarm while using the unit. We strive to provide top-notch products and the safety and satisfaction of our customers is our top priorities.
Microwaves can produce odors during initial use due to protective coatings burning off, which is normal for the first few cycles. However, if the smell persisted or was unusually strong, factors like improper ventilation, food residue, or an electrical issue could have contributed. Ensuring proper airflow around the unit and checking for any packaging materials left inside can help in such cases.
Since you have already returned the unit, we appreciate your feedback and will share it with our team for review. If you ever decide to try another LG microwave, we’d be happy to assist with setup and troubleshooting to ensure the best experience. Please feel free to reach out to us on social media anytime at @LGUSSupport.
We appreciate your patience and value your insights. ^Juvy

Not so Great
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works like a microwave but sounds like a heavy machine running in the kitchen. Will be exchanging or returning. Either its defective, or garbage. Its also very flimsy compared to the Panasonic we came from that ran for 20 years.

Posted .Hi, there. Thank you for reaching out about your LG Microwave (MSER1590S) model. We understand the importance of having a microwave that performs reliably, especially within the first few months of use.
One helpful step you can try is performing a power reset by unplugging the unit for about 60 seconds and plugging it back in. This can help restore normal operation if the issue is related to the control board or internal safety sensors. You can also check that the outlet is providing stable power by testing another appliance in the same socket.

Posted .Hi, Robert. Thank you for reaching out about your LG Microwave (MSER1590S) model. We understand the importance of having a microwave that stays reliable, especially when it was purchased just a short time ago and has already stopped powering on.

You can also unplug the microwave for one minute and plug it back in to reset the internal controls.

Dows not heat up sometimes
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure if this is a defect or not but sometimes it heats up food easily (30 sec) while sometimes it can take 2 minutes (may even come out cold; yes the exact temp when I placed in the micowave) for the exact same portion of food. Kind of disappointing.

Posted .Hi, Killian. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We understand that your LG Microwave (MSER1590S) model ceases to heat after about 90 days of use. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products and exceptional services to ensure a smooth experience. If the microwave isn’t heating, check if the door latches are engaging properly; it may not be fully closed. Ensure it’s plugged directly into a wall outlet, as extension cords can cause issues.

Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super loud and bottom are really difficulty to push
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from LG Digital Customer Care
Posted .Hi there, Will. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG MSER1590S Countertop Microwave. We understand your concern about the loud noise and the difficulty pressing the bottom of the unit. During operation, microwave ovens can produce vibration noises around 45 to 50 decibels, which is a normal sound level for this type of product and not a defect. Additionally, the unit should be placed on a stable, non-metallic surface to minimize vibrations.
For concerns with the buttons, we recommend ensuring the microwave is on a level surface and checking for any obstructions that might affect button responsiveness. For more information, please visit: LG Microwave - Troubleshooting Loud Noise While Cooking - https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-microwave-troubleshooting-loud-noise-while-cooking--20153194328721
