Possible Causes

Weak or failing magnetron, Faulty current sense resistor on PCB, Loose connection between transformer and control board, Defective high-voltage transformer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety warning: This error involves the high-voltage heating circuit. Do not attempt to probe live high-voltage wiring.

User checks:

  • Test heating with a cup of water for 1–2 minutes. If water is only lukewarm or cold and E09 appears, internal components are likely failing.
  • Listen for unusual noises (loud buzzing, arcing). If heard, stop immediately and unplug.

Professional actions (for reference):

  • Measure magnetron current draw and compare to specification.
  • Inspect and test the current sense circuit on the control PCB.
  • Replace the magnetron or transformer if out of tolerance.

Recommendation: Due to the complexity and danger of high-voltage measurements, arrange service with a Candy-authorized technician.
