If your Sharp microwave is displaying an error code, this means you have a clue to resolve the problem. Find the code in the tables below to learn what you can do. In case of a significant issue, the manufacturer recommends that you call for service or call an electrician.

Sharp AX-1100R Microwave Error Codes

Fault code Definition
F1 Open Thermal Sensor, due to excessive heat in microwave cavity
F2 Shorted thermal sensor
F3 Shorted touch pad panel
F4 Open humidity sensor
F5 Shorted humidity sensor
F6 Shorted temperature probe
F10 Shorted touch screen
Probe Open temperature probe or the probe is not plugged in during a temp cook function. Make sure probe is firmly inserted into the wall of microwave and the food item.
888, 8888 or PF It is possible to see this display upon initial installation or after power was restored due to a power failure. This display can be cancelled and normal operation resumed by touching the CLEAR pad. The clock can be reset on models so equipped.
18 power watch code Indication of an issue with the electronic control in the microwave.

Sharp KB-6015KW Microwave Error Codes

EE Mode Reason Action Required
EE 1, EE 2 Failure of single magnetron Call for service.
EE 3 Both magnetrons failed
EE 4 Voltage too high
EE 5 Voltage too low
EE 7 Oven cavity or component temperature too high Check that nothing is blocking air intake openings on oven back or that oven exterior is very hot. Correct. Wait a few minutes and try again. If problem persists, call for service.
EE 8 Circuit failure Call for service.
EE 9 Maximum cooking time is exceeded. Press the STOP/CLEAR pad, and re-input by reducing Total Cooking Time or power levels.
EE 0 Cooling fan motor and other motor failure. Oven ceiling cover is not installed properly. Cooling fan motor and other motors: Call for service.
Oven ceiling cover: Check that oven ceiling cover is properly installed. If problem persists, call for service.
