Possible Causes

Open grill thermal cut-out, Failed grill temperature thermostat, Blocked upper vents causing overheating, Faulty grill heating element drawing excessive current

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.
