Possible Causes
Control board timing IC failure, Corrupted clock settings after power surge, Faulty keypad input for time setting, Internal software glitch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal high-voltage exposure is needed for this fault; keep the unit plugged in only for control resets.
Steps:
- 1. Clear and reset: Press STOP/CLEAR to exit any active program. Then unplug the microwave for 5 minutes and plug back in.
- 2. Reprogram clock: Follow the MasterChef manual to set the clock. Enter the time slowly and confirm each step.
- 3. Test basic functions: Try a simple 30-second cook cycle. If E13 only appears when using the timer or clock, the timing circuit on the control board may be failing.
Next steps: Persistent E13 usually requires control board replacement, as the timing logic is integrated.
