Invalid keypad sequence, Stuck or shorted keypad button, Control board logic fault, Power surge corruption

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before opening any panels.

  • Clear programming: Press STOP/CANCEL to clear any current program. Re-enter a simple cook time (e.g., 30 seconds) and press START.
  • Power cycle: Unplug the unit for 5–10 minutes, then plug back in to reset the control.
  • Check keypad: If Err appears when a specific button is pressed, that key may be faulty. Gently press around the key to see if it feels different (stuck or mushy).
  • Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the control panel and reseat the keypad ribbon cable on the control board.
  • Replace keypad or control board: If Err persists regardless of input, replace the control panel/keypad assembly first. If that does not resolve it, replace the main control PCB.
