What F14
actually means.
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.

What to do when F14 shows on the microwaveKind of codeSensors 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 toMicrowave 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 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 SKS's own guidance for F14 on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press CLEAR/OFF to clear F14.
Cook with a set time and power level instead of a Sensor Cook setting until the unit is checked.
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. 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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
