Microwave shows E19; on some models this is associated with inverter-based power control (if equipped).
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave. Inverter circuits operate at high voltage and frequency; only trained technicians should service them.
- Confirm model type: Check the rating label or manual to see if your Hansa microwave uses inverter technology. E19 is typically specific to these models.
- Avoid repeated restarts: Do not keep trying to start the microwave with E19 present; this can further damage the inverter.
- External checks only: Verify that ventilation is adequate and vents are clean, as overheating can trigger inverter faults.
- Professional service: A technician should test the inverter module, magnetron, and control signals. Replace the inverter module and/or magnetron as indicated.
Warning: Inverter modules can retain dangerous charge; do not open or probe them without proper training.
