How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before any disassembly.
- Step 1 – Extended power reset: Disconnect from mains for at least 30 minutes to allow full discharge. Reconnect and see if F19 clears.
- Step 2 – Check for surge damage: If the error appeared after a lightning storm or power cut, inspect the control board for burn marks or damaged components.
- Step 3 – Factory reset (if available): Some Indesit models allow a service or factory reset via a key combination. Refer to service documentation if accessible.
- Step 4 – Replace control board: If F19 persists, the EEPROM or microcontroller is likely damaged. Replace the main control board with a pre‑programmed Indesit spare.
Note: Memory ICs on these boards are not typically field‑reprogrammable.
