Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before inspection.
User-level checks:
- Ensure that the oven is not overfilled and that air can circulate around food when using grill or convection modes.
- Check that vents are not blocked by foil or cookware.
Technician-level checks:
- Access the grill element area and locate the associated temperature sensor or thermostat.
- Test the sensor/thermostat for correct resistance or continuity at room temperature.
- Inspect the grill element for visible damage, hotspots, or breaks.
- Replace any faulty sensor, thermostat, or grill element as required.
Do not bypass safety thermostats. If E11 persists, the control PCB's temperature monitoring circuit may be defective.
