Sensor Cook settings on the SKSLV speed ovens decide cooking time from the steam food gives off. F14 is the code the manual lists for a humidity sensor error, meaning the control cannot trust that reading. SKS microwave display What to do when F14 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 SKS Signature Kitchen Suite microwaves looked at where they are installed, with the display message and the last mode used written down first. ### Source SKS SKSLV3001S 30-inch built-in microwave speed oven owner's manual Listed for the SKSLV3001S and SKSLV3011MT 30-inch built-in microwave speed ovens. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from SKS's own guidance for F14 on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Press CLEAR/OFF to clear F14. 02 Cook with a set time and power level instead of a Sensor Cook setting until the unit is checked. 03 If F14 appears again, note it and book a visit to test the humidity 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 F14 is not the same as food finishing early or late on Sensor Cook, which the manual treats as a cooking tip rather than a code. It also does not concern the two thermistors, which carry the F1, F2, F12 and F13 codes. ## What you may notice with it. The microwave problems F14 tends to arrive with.

Press CLEAR/OFF to clear F14. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can I still use my SKS speed oven with F14? Manual time cooking does not depend on the humidity reading, so clearing the code and cooking by time is a reasonable stopgap. Sensor settings should wait until the sensor is tested. ### Why does F14 show up only when I reheat on my SKS speed oven? Reheat and other sensor programs are when the control reads humidity, so that is when a bad sensor gets noticed. The timing is a clue for the technician. ### Could covering food tightly trigger F14 on an SKS speed oven? Covering changes how much steam reaches the sensor and affects results, but the code itself points at the sensor circuit. If it repeats with food covered as the manual suggests, book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: SKS F14: the speed oven's humidity sensor reports a problem](https://microwaverepair.center/error-codes/sks-f14/)** **[Book a visit with MicrowaveRepair.center](https://microwaverepair.center/schedule/)**
