How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Normal user operation only; no need to open the cabinet for initial checks.
Steps:
- 1. Use recommended cookware: Follow the IKEA manual for sensor cooking—use microwave-safe, uncovered containers where specified.
- 2. Correct placement: Place food in the center of the turntable and avoid stacking items.
- 3. Reset the unit: Unplug for 10 minutes to clear any software error, then reprogram the clock and try again.
- 4. Factory reset (if available): Some models allow a factory reset via a key combination; consult the user manual.
Resolution: If E19 persists with correct usage, the sensor or control board may require replacement by a technician using IKEA-compatible parts.
