SENSOR ERROR
A sensor cooking cycle did not detect steam as expected, or its door was opened before detection; the display alone does not diagnose a failed part.
What it means
A sensor cooking cycle did not detect steam as expected, or its door was opened before detection; the display alone does not diagnose a failed part.
This explanation is shared only by models whose manufacturer documents the same code, meaning, and guidance.
Manufacturer guidance
- During sensor cooking, keep the door closed until steam is sensed and the remaining time counts down.
- If steam is not detected or food needs more heat, use Time Cook for additional time.
