Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely.
User-level checks:
- Ensure that the top and rear vents are not obstructed by cabinets or objects.
- Clean any heavy grease buildup from the interior roof and around the grill element using a non-abrasive cleaner (when cool).
- Try a short microwave-only cycle; if E07 only appears on grill/combination, the issue is isolated to the grill circuit.
Technician-level checks:
- Access the top of the cavity to locate the grill thermal cut-out and thermostat.
- Test each device for continuity at room temperature; replace any that are open.
- Inspect the grill element for visible damage or hotspots and test its resistance against Hoover specifications.
- Check wiring and connectors for heat damage.
Recommendation: Replace the grill thermal cut-out or thermostat if faulty. If the grill element is shorted or cracked, replace it as a complete assembly.
