Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Critical safety warning: Inverter-based microwaves operate at very high voltages and frequencies. The inverter board is extremely dangerous to service without proper training and equipment.

User-level actions:

  • 1. Power cycle: Unplug the microwave for at least 10 minutes to allow the inverter to discharge. Plug back in and test. If E08 returns, do not continue to operate the unit.
  • 2. Check ventilation: Ensure vents are not blocked, as overheating can trigger inverter protection.

Technician-level actions:

  • Remove the cabinet and inspect the inverter board for burn marks or cracked solder joints.
  • Test the magnetron for shorts before replacing the inverter.
  • Replace the inverter module as a complete assembly using the correct Privileg part number.

Recommendation: Due to the risks involved, E08 faults should be handled by a qualified microwave service technician only.
