High-Voltage System Failure (No Microwave Output)

E04

Microwave display shows E04 and unit will not start; sometimes accompanied by a clicking sound from the relay area.

Relay or Power Control Board Fault

E05

Microwave shows E05 and stops or refuses to start; often related to grill or combination cooking on Privileg combi models.

Grill Heater or Temperature Sensor Fault

E06

Microwave displays E06 and may stop mid-cycle; fan may continue running; often associated with sensor cooking modes.

Humidity / Steam Sensor Fault

E07

Microwave shows E07 and will not start; sometimes appears after a power surge or lightning event.

Low Voltage / Power Supply Error

E08

Microwave displays E08 and beeps; turntable and fan do not start.

Inverter Board Fault (Inverter-Type Models)

E09

Microwave shows E09 and stops; often associated with turntable not rotating or mechanical jam.

Turntable Motor / Rotation Error

E10

Microwave displays E10 and may shut down; often appears after long cooking times on built-in Privileg models.

Cavity Overheat / Cooling System Fault

E11

Microwave shows E11 and beeps; keypad may be unresponsive or partially working.

Keypad / Touch Control Error

E12

Microwave displays E12 and may not accept time or power settings correctly.

E14

Microwave displays E14 and may not detect door open/close correctly; interior light may stay on or off incorrectly.

Door State Detection Error

E15

Microwave shows E15 and may stop mid-cycle; sometimes accompanied by a faint burning smell from the cavity.

Cavity Sensor / Thermistor Fault

E16

Microwave displays E16 and may not start; often related to child lock or safety logic.

Child Lock / Safety Logic Error

E17

Microwave shows E17 and may emit unusual noises from the fan or internal mechanisms.

Fan Speed / Feedback Error

E18

Microwave displays E18 and may not respond to sensor cooking or auto programs.

E19

Microwave shows E19 and may shut down when using grill or convection functions on combi models.

Convection Heater / Fan Error

E20

Microwave displays E20 and may not start; sometimes appears after a short circuit or tripped household breaker.

Internal Short / Ground Fault Detected

Symptom

Microwave clock resets to 0:00 or flashes after every use or when opening the door; unit otherwise works.

Power Supply Instability to Control Board

Symptom

Microwave convection oven function does not heat or fan does not run, but microwave mode works.

Convection System Failure

Symptom

Microwave display and clock are blank; unit appears completely dead and does not respond.

No Power – Primary Supply Failure

Symptom

Microwave display is dim, flickering, or segments are missing, but cooking still works.

Display Module / VFD or LED Failure

Symptom

Microwave door does not close properly; it sags or requires lifting to latch; cooking may stop intermittently.

Door Hinge / Alignment Problem

Symptom

Microwave door will not open or is stuck closed after cooking; latch feels jammed.

Door Latch Mechanism Jammed

Symptom

Microwave emits a burning smell, smoke, or visible sparks (arcing) inside the cavity during use.

Symptom

Microwave grill function does not heat, but normal microwave heating works.

Grill Element Circuit Failure

Symptom

Microwave interior accumulates condensation or water droplets on walls and door after cooking.

Excessive Condensation / Ventilation Issue

Symptom

Microwave interior light does not come on, but unit heats and runs normally.

Cavity Lamp Failure

Symptom

Microwave interior light, fan, and turntable run with door open, or unit attempts to start when door is closed lightly.

Door Interlock Misalignment / Switch Failure

Symptom

Microwave keypad buttons do not respond or respond intermittently; no error code shown.
