Ilve IV600BIM / IV601BIM/ IV602BIM Questions & Answers

our ILVE microwave is only 2.5 years old and the door dosent always open without adjusting it and now the confirm/ start button has completely fallen out of the cavity... what are the company prepared to do for us, it is the worst appliance we have ever had for faults.... Thankyou Gayle Ray

My IV602BIM glass plate broke - does anyone know the size in mm please so I can order

I can’t get my microwave to work, no matter what button I press nothing happens. Will you please help me. Thanks Rosa

As someone else asked above, two symbols appear on screen and flashing, but no buttons react. How can I reset?

I have the same problem as Jan L mentioned 2 years ago. Is it possible for us to replace/fix the start button ourself without calling service? Please advice. Thanks.

"The Start button misaligned/ clip came off on one side so half the button ended up pushed in to the cavity. We could still start the microwave by touching the button gently. Unfortunately now the button has now given way more and will not start the microwave at all. It is disappointing to find this problem in a button! Never in 40 years of using different brands eg LG, Panasonic etc have we ever had a problem with buttons!"

As with multiple other people here my microwave has the cooking pot and diamond icon flashing and is unresponsive other than being able to change the cook time. The main board/display panel were already replaced within the last year after working intermittently since purchase. I have power cycled it at the switchboard does anyone have any suggestions for fixing or drop in NON-ilve replacements.

How do I set my clock for IV600BIM, had a power outage and didn't set the time so microwave not functioning.

Cannot get my IV600FBI microwave to do anything. The cooking pot and diamond sign are flashing and I can’t get them off. Had so much trouble with this microwave and nothing useful in the manual. The buttons are non responsive.

The buttons became non-responsive after 9 months. Ilve replaced with a new one not interested in looking to repair it. Initially pleased with receiving a new microwave only for the exact same issue to occur 9 months later. Not a single button responds.

Now Ilve say it’s out of warranty and won’t help. But all they did when it was in warranty was send another faulty product.

I don’t expect microwaves to last forever but this is laughable. Buyer beware.

I have the Ilve IV602BIM. I can home from work one day to find it was it had turned itself on (plate spinning/light on etc). Despite pressing Stop/Cancel, the cycle would not stop. The only way to stop it was by opening the microwave door. Every time I close the door though, it just resumes the same cycle? I have pressed all combinations of buttons but nothing seems to cancel whatever cycle it seems to be stuck in. I've even isolated the power from the trip switch. However, even when I reconnect the power and close the door again, it resumes the same cycle! Anybody had this? Can anybody help?

We have had our microwave for 4 years in a new house build, and it let's out a high pitched noise when not in use, once the clock and it has gone into 'saver mode.' It is highly irritating and only stops when a button is pushed or door is open. Is there a permanent way of stopping this?

How do you change the light bulbs in iv692ibm?

I am having the same problem. Flashing cooking pot and diamond icons and when I turn the dial it will go to 60:00 then back to 10:00. Won’t start. I have unplugged it overnight and issue persisits

Is my brand new microwave stuck in low power mode for something as it takes twice as long to heat anything than my 10+ year old microwave did

I bought this expensive ILVE BIM602 microwave in 2017 and have been putting up with its rather poor heating function (compared to all my previous cheaper microwave ovens) all this time. A few months ago the Start button misaligned/ clip came off on one side so half the button ended up pushed in to the cavity. We could still start the microwave by touching the button gently. Unfortunately now the button has now given way more and will not start the microwave at all. It is disappointing to find this problem in a button! Never in 40 years of using different brands eg LG, Panasonic etc have we ever had a problem with buttons!

Where can I find the Manual for the Ilve IV600BIM microwave?

I have IV600BIM which came with the apartment we bought. It would be about 6 or 7 years old. The microwave hasn't been well maintained by the previous owners, which makes me a bit concerned about potential leakage. I'm looking at replacing it and noted that there is a similar model IV602BIM, however its dimensions are a bit different. How can we remove the old microwave to check the actual size of the cavity before we decide on the purchase?

Our Ilve microwave door doesn't open. Whilst it's outside the warranty period, it's built into the cabinetry and difficult to remove. Does anyone have any suggestions in how to fix this problem.
