What it means
A sensor cooking program failed to detect steam in time, including when the door was opened before steam could be sensed; the message alone does not identify a failed sensor part.
This explanation is shared only by models whose manufacturer documents the same code, meaning, and guidance.
Manufacturer guidance
- During a fresh sensor program, leave the door closed until steam is detected and the display begins its countdown.
- If steam was not detected by the limit, use Time Cook to heat further as the owner table advises.
