What E-24 means

E-24 on Frigidaire convection microwaves, such as FPMO209KF, means the microwave overheated during cooking and the temperature reached 500 degrees F. The control stops the cycle for safety. You will see E-24 and the oven side may be too hot to touch. It can come from a sensor that reads low or from a heater that does not turn off.

Common causes of E-24

  • An oven thermal sensor that reads too low
  • A heater that stays on
  • The control board that fails to turn off heating
  • Blocked ventilation around the microwave
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Stop using the microwave and let it cool fully with the door closed. 2. Do not open the door while it is hot. 3. Make sure the vents and the area around the microwave are clear. 4. Call us to schedule service before using convection again.

! Why to stop there
  • An overheat stop can come from a sensor, a heater or the board, so we do not recommend trying it again to see.
  • We test the sensor and the heater control before the microwave is used again.
  • The price is quoted in writing first, and we tell you plainly if the microwave is not worth the repair.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

E-24E-24 questions
Is E-24 dangerous?

The control stops the cycle to protect the unit, but the microwave should not be used again until it is checked. The control stops the cycle for safety when it senses extreme heat.

Why not try it again?

If the sensor or heater control is the cause, running it again can overheat it again. Let the unit cool completely before anyone touches it.

Can you repair a convection microwave that overheated?

Yes. We find the cause first and tell you plainly if a repair does not make sense. Call us before using any oven mode again.
