What it means
A microwave sensor cooking cycle was interrupted or could not sense appropriate conditions; the guide cites a door opening, mismatched food amount or type, and insufficient detectable steam.
This explanation is shared only by models whose manufacturer documents the same code, meaning, and guidance.
Manufacturer guidance
- If the door was opened during the sensor phase, close it and press START/PAUSE.
- Compare the actual food and amount with the chosen sensor selection; use CANCEL/OFF and select appropriately when needed.
- Vent wrap, use a looser lid or uncover liquids when the steam path was blocked.
- If cooking is still needed after a sensor run, use COOK BY TIME rather than repeating the sensor feature on the same food.
