How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before internal work.

Basic steps:

  • Remove and reinsert the basket firmly.
  • On hinged-lid models, open and close the lid securely.
  • Unplug the unit for 10 minutes to clear any latched error state.

Interlock checks:

  • Test the basket and lid switches for proper operation.
  • Inspect wiring to these switches and reseat connectors.

If beeping persists with no visible error code and all switches test good, the main control board may be faulty and require replacement.
