How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave and allow it to cool before inspection.
Basic steps:
- Confirm that SE appears regardless of cooking mode (microwave, grill, convection).
- Allow the unit to cool fully and then try again; transient overheat can sometimes trigger SE.
Sensor checks (technician):
- Locate the temperature sensor (often an NTC) attached to the cavity or air duct.
- Inspect the wiring and connector for damage or disconnection.
- Measure sensor resistance at room temperature and compare with Teka specifications.
- Replace the sensor if readings are out of range or intermittent.
