# Bertazzoni ERROR: a sensor program or clock setting failed

The MO30STANE uses one word for two situations.

## What ERROR actually means.

The MO30STANE uses one word for two situations. During sensor cooking, if the vapor reading is interrupted or never arrives, the program stops and ERROR shows; while setting the 12-hour clock, an impossible time also brings up ERROR.

What to do when ERROR shows on the microwave

### Kind of code Sensors and temperature

The control has stopped trusting what one of its sensors reports: the cook or humidity sensor that ends a sensor reheat when steam rises, or a thermal cutout that trips when the cavity or the magnetron runs too hot. A cutout that opens stops the microwave mid-cycle and often recovers once it cools; one that keeps tripping, or a sensor program that shuts off at once every time, needs the sensor, its wiring or the airflow behind it checked.

### Usually leads to Microwave control board and touchpad repair

Tracing a dead display, keys that do not answer or a code that keeps returning to the keypad, the ribbon, the relays or the main board, and replacing only the part that failed.

### Shows up as What a Microwave Error Code Is Telling You

A microwave error code may be a letter and a number on the display, a lock or demo word, a row of dashes, or a beep with a blinking clock, and it can show while the microwave still heats or block every key until it is cleared.

### Make Bertazzoni

A Bertazzoni microwave that has quit heating or started to spark gets a look in place, beginning with its model label and a cup of water.

MO30STANE and MO30STANE24 built-in microwaves. The KOTR hood models and the MD24LX drawer manuals do not list an ERROR message.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for ERROR on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Touch STOP/CLEAR and enter the clock again in 12-hour form if you were setting it.

02

For sensor cooking, keep the door closed and leave STOP/CLEAR alone until the remaining time appears.

03

Wipe the dish and cavity dry and try again; for popcorn, a sensor miss just returns the display to the time of day.

04

If every sensor program ends in ERROR, cook by time and power and book a visit for the sensor.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [microwave control board and touchpad repair](https://microwaverepair.center/services/microwave-control-board-and-touchpad-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

ERROR does not mean the microwave has stopped heating; timed cooking still works if only the sensor is involved. It is also different from SERVICE on the hood model, which reports a supply problem.

## What you may notice with it.

The microwave problems ERROR tends to arrive with. Answer these at the microwave before anyone is booked.

Bertazzoni builds this

### Microwave hood combination

The microwave that hangs from the wall cabinets above the burners, heating food in its cavity while its own fan, light and filters handle the steam and grease rising from the pans beneath it.

Bertazzoni builds this

### Built-in microwave

A microwave set into a tall cabinet or a wall of cabinetry at eye level, either a countertop body wrapped in a trim kit or a true built-in model, including speed and convection microwaves that brown as well as heat.

Bertazzoni builds this

### Microwave drawer

A microwave built under a counter or into a kitchen island that opens like a drawer at the touch of a key, with a motor and gears sliding its cavity out toward you.

## In Bertazzoni's own words

> If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.

## Questions about ERROR.

### Can I clear ERROR myself?

Touch STOP/CLEAR and enter the clock again in 12-hour form if you were setting it. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why does my Bertazzoni microwave stop sensor cooking with ERROR?

The sensor reads steam from the food during the first stage. Opening the door or pressing STOP/CLEAR in that stage, or a dish that releases little steam, leaves it without a reading and it stops.

### Why does my Bertazzoni microwave say ERROR when I set the time?

The clock runs from 1:00 to 12:59, so a 24-hour time is refused. Clear it and enter the 12-hour time.

### How can I tell a bad sensor from a bad dish?

Try a covered cup of water on sensor reheat in a dry cavity. If that also ends in ERROR every time, book a visit to test the sensor.
