What E300
actually means.
The BMP 250/251 runs on a 240-volt supply with two hot legs, L1 and L2. Gaggenau's manual gives E300 three causes: incorrect wiring at the connection point, L1 and L2 not being powered at the same moment, or a failure in the module combination, which is a service matter.

What to do when E300 shows on the microwaveKind of codePower and supply
The microwave has noticed trouble with the power reaching it: an outage or a brownout that interrupted a cycle, a voltage too low for the magnetron to start, or a supply that dipped when something else on the circuit switched on. As often as not the cause is the circuit, the outlet in the cabinet above or the breaker rather than the unit; a main fuse that blows again after a reset points inside, where only a technician goes.
Usually leads toMicrowave diagnostic visit
A visit that times a cup of water against the clock, checks the door and its switches, then tests the high-voltage section, the controls and the moving parts one at a time until a single part is named.
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 Gaggenau's own guidance for E300 on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch off the double-pole breaker for the unit.
Turn it back on in one motion so both legs come on together; do not switch individual poles.
If E300 remains, have a qualified electrician check the connection wiring, then book a visit if the wiring is correct.
Still there?
It usually turns into microwave diagnostic visit. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
E300 is not a magnetron or door problem, and it usually shows right after installation or electrical work. Owners should not open the junction box themselves; wiring is checked by a qualified person.

Still showing E300?
Three details make the booking useful: the characters or beeps just as they appeared, every character of the model number, and whether a cup of water still warms up. With those, the technician arrives already halfway to the answer.
