Whirlpool velos microwave/convection oven is turning on automatically. It is as if someone was pushing the buttons on the front. It often ends up on the mac and cheese setting but is not currently actually turning on and cooking. This used to happen when a pot was simmering on the stove beneath it. Turning on the fan used to fix the issue. Now it happens without steam being involved. We unplugged the unit in an attempt to re-set it.

I always recommend that you use the vent fan whenever you're cooking on the stove top to keep heat, steam, and grease out of the controls and door panels.

You probably now have a failing membrane keypad.

If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.

So until it is repaired, please leave it unplugged.
