Error codeE1
ApplianceMicrowave
Quick answer
E1 on an Electrolux built-in combination microwave oven: the thermal safety switch-off function has been activated.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Thermal safety switch-off function activated.
E1 on the display of an Electrolux built-in combination microwave oven means the thermal safety switch-off function has been activated. The wording comes from an Electrolux support article on microwave error messages.
What the support article says to do
Its remedy for E1 is to book a service. There is no owner reset or check listed for this code.
Codes that look alike
E4 carries the very same description, so the two are easy to confuse. The article also covers E11 for moisture and E17 for rapid heating that has failed.
Take a look at E4 if that is the code you actually see.
