SENSOR ERROR
A sensor program was interrupted before steam was detected, or steam did not appear within the maximum time; the Popcorn instructions explicitly show this after an early door opening.
What it means
A sensor program was interrupted before steam was detected, or steam did not appear within the maximum time; the Popcorn instructions explicitly show this after an early door opening.
This explanation is shared only by models whose manufacturer documents the same code, meaning, and guidance.
Manufacturer guidance
- Note the sensor program and whether the door opened before the remaining time started counting down.
- For the documented Popcorn interruption, close the door, press CLEAR/OFF and begin again; use Time Cook if food remains underheated after a completed sensor cycle.
