How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before inspection.
- Hard reset: Disconnect power for 10–15 minutes to clear any transient faults. Restore power and check if the code returns.
- Check installation: Ensure the microwave is correctly installed (e.g., venting configuration matches the setup in the user manual). Some models log configuration errors if internal settings and physical installation conflict.
- Inspect wiring harness: Remove the outer cabinet and verify that all harness connectors to the control board are fully seated and undamaged.
- Replace control board: If F0E9 persists and wiring/installation are correct, replace the electronic control board.
