What ERROR WEIGHT TOO SMALL
actually means.
Auto Defrost and the automatic broil and roast programs on the PCOR30S work from the food's weight in tenths of a pound. When the number you enter is outside the program's range, the display answers with ERROR WEIGHT TOO SMALL or TOO LARGE and waits for a new entry.

What to do when ERROR WEIGHT TOO SMALL shows on the microwaveKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something was switched on rather than something wearing out: a child or control lock set by a long press on the wrong pad, after which no key answers, a demo or showroom setting that lights the display and turns the plate while nothing warms, a Sabbath setting that dims the panel and mutes the beeps, or a clock left blinking after an outage that holds the keypad until it is set. No part is needed; a key sequence from the manual switches it off again.
Usually leads toNo repair
Touch STOP/CLEAR and re-enter the weight in pounds and tenths, within the range listed in the manual's chart.
Shows up asWhat 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for ERROR WEIGHT TOO SMALL on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Touch STOP/CLEAR and re-enter the weight in pounds and tenths, within the range listed in the manual's chart.
For amounts outside the chart, cook or defrost by time and power level instead.
If the message appears for weights inside the range every time, book a visit to check the control panel.
Cleared?
The code has gone and a mug of water heats again without a new part. If it comes back this week, or the food starts coming out cold in the middle, mention in the booking that it came back.
What not to do
This message has nothing to do with a scale inside the microwave; the unit does not weigh food. It is also not the sensor ERROR that ends a sensor cycle.
