Possible Causes
Contaminated humidity sensor, Failed humidity sensor module, Loose sensor connector, Moisture damage on sensor PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect from mains before accessing internal components.
- Locate sensor: On Amica models with auto-cook by humidity, the sensor is usually mounted on the top of the cavity or behind a small grille.
- Clean sensor area: Gently clean the sensor opening and surrounding area with a soft cloth to remove grease and residue.
- Inspect wiring: Check the sensor wiring and connector to the control board for corrosion or looseness.
- Replace sensor: If cleaning and reseating do not clear E16, replace the humidity sensor module with the correct Amica part.
- Reset: Unplug for several minutes after replacement to reset the control, then test an auto-cook program.
