How to Fix / Troubleshooting

SAFETY: Unplug the microwave before opening the control area.

E10 is a general internal error code.

  • Step 1 – Hard reset:
    • Unplug the microwave for at least 15 minutes.
    • Plug back in and set the clock; test basic functions.
  • Step 2 – Check for moisture:
    • If E10 appears after heavy steam cooking, allow the unit to dry for several hours with the door open.
  • Step 3 – Control connections (for DIYers):
    • Remove the control panel.
    • Reseat all ribbon cables between the display board and main control PCB.
    • Inspect for corrosion or moisture on connectors.

If E10 returns frequently, the control PCB is likely failing and should be replaced with the correct SilverCrest module by a technician.
