Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Critical safety warning: Inverter-based microwaves contain high-frequency, high-voltage circuits that are extremely dangerous. Do not open the cabinet or attempt inverter repairs unless you are a qualified technician.
User-level steps:
- 1. Power cycle: Unplug the microwave for at least 10–15 minutes to allow internal capacitors to discharge partially, then plug back in and test.
- 2. Check power source: Plug the microwave directly into a properly grounded wall outlet (no surge strips or extension cords). If a surge occurred, test the outlet with another appliance.
- 3. Reduce load: Remove any heavy or metallic cookware and test with a simple cup of water.
If E07 returns, the inverter or magnetron is likely faulty and must be serviced or replaced by a professional. Continued use may cause further damage or safety hazards.
