How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the oven and steam system to cool completely and disconnect power before inspection.
- Check steam outlet: Inspect the steam outlet and vents inside the cavity for food debris or scale build-up. Clean gently with a soft brush.
- Run cleaning cycle: Use any built-in cleaning or descaling program to clear minor blockages.
- Inspect sensor wiring: Access the steam generator area (usually behind a side or top panel) and check the sensor wiring harness for damage or loose connectors.
- Sensor test: If you have access to service data, measure the resistance of the steam temperature sensor and compare to specifications. Replace if out of range.
Warning: Steam systems operate under pressure and high temperature. If E016 persists, have the steam system professionally serviced.
