SE
Display shows SE (or sometimes '5E') and the microwave beeps continuously; keys may appear stuck.
Keypad Stuck Key / Shorted Membrane
Symptom
Convection oven function does not reach or maintain set temperature (on convection models).
Convection Heating / Temperature Control Fault
Symptom
Grill function does not heat, but microwave heating works normally (on combination models).
Grill Element Circuit Failure
Symptom
Microwave buttons are unresponsive or require very hard pressing to register.
Keypad Wear / Membrane Failure
Symptom
Microwave completely dead: no display, no light, no response when buttons are pressed.
No Power / Dead Appliance
Symptom
Microwave cooks unevenly; some areas of food are cold while others are very hot.
Uneven Heating / Distribution Issue
Symptom
Microwave display is dim, flickering, or some segments are missing.
Display / VFD or LED Module Degradation
Symptom
Microwave display is on and buttons respond, but pressing START does nothing (no relay click, no fan, no light).
Start Circuit / Relay Drive Failure
Symptom
Microwave door does not close properly; it feels loose or misaligned and may cause intermittent operation.
Door Alignment / Hinge Wear
Symptom
Microwave door will not open or is jammed after cooking.
Door Latch Mechanism Jam
Symptom
Microwave emits a burning smell or visible smoke from the vents during or after cooking.
Overheating / Food or Component Burning
Symptom

Initial Burn-in Odor / Residual Manufacturing Oils
Symptom
Microwave fan continues to run for a long time after cooking has finished.
Cooling Fan Overrun / Thermostat Control
Symptom
Microwave interior light does not come on, but unit heats and operates normally.
Cavity Lamp Failure
Symptom
Microwave interior light stays on even when the door is closed and no cooking is in progress.

Symptom
Microwave is very noisy during operation (loud humming, rattling, or vibration).
Excessive Operational Noise
Symptom
Microwave leaks water or condensation onto the worktop or from the door area.
Condensation / Drainage Issue
Symptom
Microwave light and fan come on as soon as the door is closed, even without pressing START.
Door Switch / Monitor Switch Miswiring
Symptom
Microwave makes loud grinding or scraping noises when the turntable rotates.
Turntable Mechanical Noise
Symptom
Microwave runs (light on, turntable rotating, fan running) but food does not heat up.
No Heating / Magnetron or High Voltage Failure
Symptom
Microwave time counts down too quickly or too slowly compared to real time.
Timer / Clock Calibration Error
Symptom
Microwave trips the household circuit breaker or blows the fuse when START is pressed.
