How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the door or top panel.
- Check vent area: Inspect the vent outlet on the inner door for blockages or heavy grease buildup. Clean with a damp cloth.
- Access drying sensor: Remove the inner door panel to locate the Sharp drying sensor or vent sensor near the fan or vent assembly.
- Inspect wiring: Ensure the sensor connector is fully seated and wires are not pinched or broken.
- Clean sensor: If the sensor surface is accessible, gently clean it to remove residue that may affect readings.
- Replace if necessary: If E11 persists, replace the drying sensor or vent assembly. If the error remains after replacement, the main control board may require service.
