How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before accessing the underside or internal components.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Confirm feature: Only some advanced Grundig models have a weight sensor. Check your manual.
- 2. Check for overload: Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum load or using inappropriate cookware that may confuse the sensor.
- 3. Access sensor: On models with a weight sensor, it is typically mounted under the cavity floor or turntable support.
- 4. Inspect mounting: Verify that the sensor is firmly attached and not bent or obstructed.
- 5. Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the sensor to the control PCB for damage or loose connectors.
If E17 persists and the sensor and wiring appear intact, the sensor or control PCB may need replacement by a technician.
