How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance before inspection.
- Check model features: Confirm that your Amica microwave model actually has a weight sensor (often in built-in or advanced models).
- Inspect sensor area: The sensor is typically located under the turntable or cavity floor. Check for physical damage or misalignment.
- Clean contact surfaces: Ensure the turntable support and sensor contact points are clean and free of debris.
- Inspect wiring: Follow the sensor cable to the control board and check for pinched or broken wires.
- Replace sensor: If wiring is intact and E17 persists, replace the weight sensor with the correct Amica spare.
