Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before moving or cleaning.
User-level steps:
- 1. Remove all accessories: Take out the glass tray, roller ring, racks, and any cookware. Wipe the cavity floor clean.
- 2. Check for stuck components: Ensure no accessory is jammed or pressing against the cavity floor or walls in a way that could affect a weight or load sensor.
- 3. Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes, then plug back in and test a standard manual cook mode.
If E11 only affects sensor/auto modes but manual time/power cooking works, you may continue using manual modes. For full functionality, a technician should inspect and test the internal sensor and control board.
