Error

A sensor program lost its steam-detection phase: the door opened before steam was detected, or steam was not detected within the allowed time.

What it means

A sensor program lost its steam-detection phase: the door opened before steam was detected, or steam was not detected within the allowed time.

This explanation is shared only by models whose manufacturer documents the same code, meaning, and guidance.

Check which Sensor Cook, Reheat, Beverage or Popcorn program was running and whether the door opened.
For interrupted Sensor Popcorn, shut the door, press CLEAR/OFF and start that program again as GE instructs.
If steam sensing is unsuitable for the food, use the manual time-cook instructions rather than diagnosing a failed sensor from this message alone.
