How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before any internal inspection.
Steps to try:
- Clean interior: Thoroughly clean the cavity, especially near the sensor port (often a small grill on the side or top). Remove grease and food splatter.
- Use proper containers: For sensor cooking, use microwave-safe, vented containers as recommended in the Café manual.
- Power reset: Disconnect power for 5 minutes, then restore and test a sensor cycle.
- If error persists: The humidity sensor or control board may be faulty. A technician should test and replace the humidity sensor module if needed.
