Possible Causes

Basket not fully inserted, Door/basket switch not engaged, Invalid program selection sequence, Stuck keypad button

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit if beeping persists continuously.

Steps to resolve repeated beeping:

  • Reinsert basket: Remove and firmly reinsert the basket until it clicks into place.
  • Clear keypad: Wipe the control panel to ensure no moisture or debris is causing a stuck button.
  • Reset sequence: Unplug for 5 minutes, then plug in and follow the user manual's exact steps for selecting temperature and time before pressing start.
  • Check basket switch: If beeping continues and the unit thinks the basket is out, inspect and test the basket safety microswitch and replace if faulty.

Tip: Observe any icons on the display indicating an open basket or door; these can guide you to the interlock issue.
