Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation openings,Failed cooling fan,Defective internal thermal cut-out,Excessive ambient temperature around microwave

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before further use.

  • 1. Improve ventilation: Ensure the microwave has the minimum clearances specified in the Beko manual (typically several centimeters on sides, top, and rear). Remove any items blocking vents.
  • 2. Clean vents: Use a soft brush or vacuum to remove dust and grease from intake and exhaust grilles.
  • 3. Check cooling fan: During operation, you should hear the fan. If not, or if it is very noisy, the fan may be failing. See cooling fan replacement procedures.
  • 4. Internal thermal devices: If E15 recurs quickly even with good ventilation, an internal thermal cut-out or thermostat may be weak or faulty and should be tested and replaced.

Warning: Persistent overtemperature errors can indicate deeper issues with the magnetron or airflow system; professional diagnosis is recommended.
