Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before removing the control panel.
Preliminary checks:
- Confirm the outlet voltage is stable and within specification.
- Unplug the microwave for 10–15 minutes to fully discharge internal supplies, then reconnect.
- Remove any surge protectors or adapters and plug directly into the wall outlet.
Control board inspection (qualified):
- Remove the control panel and inspect the PCB for bulging capacitors, burn marks, or corrosion.
- Check connectors for tight fit and signs of arcing.
- Measure the low-voltage rails (e.g., 5 V, 12 V) if you have the schematic and tools.
If E14 persists, the main control board typically requires replacement. Board-level repair is complex and should be done only by experienced technicians.
