How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before moving or inspecting it.
User-level steps:
- 1. Full power reset: Unplug the unit for at least 15 minutes to fully discharge internal circuits, then plug back in and reset the clock.
- 2. Stable power source: Plug directly into a dedicated wall outlet. Avoid outlets shared with high-draw appliances (fridge, dishwasher) that may cause voltage dips.
- 3. Surge protection: If E13 followed a storm or outage, consider using a quality surge protector for future use (but test first directly in the wall outlet).
If E13 recurs frequently or the display behaves erratically, the main control board likely needs replacement by a qualified technician.
