Microwave shows E08 and will not start; may occur after a power outage or surge.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Corrupted control board memory, Failed EEPROM chip on control board, Power surge damage, Incorrect configuration data

Safety first: Disconnect power before any extended troubleshooting.

Reset procedure:

Unplug the microwave for at least 10 minutes to allow the control to fully discharge.
Reconnect power and check if the error clears.

If E08 persists:

The control board's memory (EEPROM) may be corrupted or damaged.
This requires replacement of the main control board or reprogramming by an authorized Wolf technician.
Do not attempt firmware updates or board programming yourself; incorrect procedures can permanently damage the unit.
