How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before handling the control board.
- Power reset: Leave the unit unplugged for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then plug back in and check if E19 clears.
- Check for surge damage: Inspect the control board for burn marks or swollen components that may indicate a power surge.
- Use surge protection: If the unit is not on a surge protector, consider adding one after repair.
- Replace control board: If E19 persists after a hard reset and there are no wiring faults, the main control board (with firmware) must be replaced with a genuine Magic Chef board.
