Microwave shows E09 and stops; may occur when using grill or convection functions.

Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before touching internal surfaces.

• Allow cool-down: Leave the door open and wait at least 30 minutes. After cooling, reconnect power and test a short grill cycle.
• Inspect grill element visually: Look at the grill element (usually at the top of the cavity). Check for visible breaks, hotspots, or deformation. Do not touch if still hot.
• Check for obstructions: Ensure no foil, covers, or oversized dishes are too close to the grill element, which can cause localized overheating.
• Professional diagnosis: If E09 recurs quickly, the grill limiter (thermal cutout), grill element, or associated sensor may be faulty. A technician should test continuity of the grill element and limiter and replace defective parts.

Warning: Do not bypass thermal limiters; they are critical safety devices.
