Allen,

I installed an Amana microwave, as it was one of the few that came with ventilation ductwork as part of the trim kit. It actually didn't have any side vents or side clearance requirements, but required 2" top, bottom, and rear.

I would almost say it is a malfunction in the microwave, especially if it is a factory install. The thermal sensor may have gotten overly sensitive.

The mic gets hot as he-l. I think it is a poor selection for the space but I want to pull it and check where the exhaust is. The side clearance is only about 1/2" but there is plenty below & above. What is the model # of your Amana?
