How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before any inspection.

Basic checks:

  • Verify the wall outlet voltage is stable and within specification using another appliance.
  • Inspect the power cord for cuts, kinks, or burn marks.
  • Unplug the unit for 10 minutes to perform a soft reset, then plug back in.

Internal inspection (experienced users):

  • Remove the outer cover.
  • Check the mains filter board and wiring from the power cord to the control PCB for loose connectors or signs of overheating.
  • Inspect the control board for bulging capacitors, burnt components, or corrosion.

Next steps: If E08 persists and no obvious wiring issue is found, the control board likely needs repair or replacement. This is typically a workshop job; contact an authorized Candy technician.
