Commercial Microwave Oven Error Codes

To allow for easier navigation throughout the tips and guidelines, the entire line of Panasonic
commercial microwave ovens was divided into three categories. Listed below are these categories
and their corresponding models.

OCS

NE-8021AR, NE-8051AR, NE-1021A, NE-1051A, NE-1056A, NE-1021T, NE-1051T,
NE-1056T, NE-1024T, NE-1054T, NE-1064T

PRO-1

NE-1257A, NE-1258A, NE-1757A, NE-2157A, NE-1257R, NE-1258R, NE-1757R,
NE-2157R

PRO-2

While troubleshooting an oven, identify the symptom as accurately as possible and refer to the
following pages for tips and guidelines. Please note that causes and remedies were listed in logical
order and probability of occurrence.

ERROR
CODE
(SYMPTOM)

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

GROUP

F01 + beep

Temperature in the exhaust duct raised above 260 F due to
a) Fire in the cavity
b) Clogged air filter (not applicable to OCS models)
c) Obstruction of the exhaust duct
d) Shorted temperature sensor

OCS
PRO-1
PRO-2

F03 or F04

Mismatch between the incoming line voltage and the voltage setting of the oven.
a) Make sure the line voltage corresponds with the setting of the oven. The
voltage selector is located at the back and consists of two plugs. The white
plug sets the oven for 208 V and black plug (or white plug with a black dot)
sets the oven for 230 V.
b) Make sure the line voltage is within +/- 10% tolerance. This is especially
important during summer months, where line voltage has tendency to drop.
c) If both steps above check OK, the error(s) may be caused by defective
controller (DPU) board

PRO-1
PRO-2

F05

Internal memory failure has occurred. Replace the controller (DPU) board

PRO-1

F09

Oven that was designed for 50Hz electricity is attempted to operate in the 60Hz
environment. If the model number of the oven in question is listed above, most likely
the controller (DPU) board has failed.

PRO-1

F33 or F34

These codes may be triggered by either excessive heat within the oven or poor
grounding of either the temp sensor or the controller (DPU) board. Check the
following:
a) Clogged air filter (not applicable to OCS models)
b) Obstruction of the exhaust duct or insufficient ventilation
c) Defective thermal sensor (should read 30 – 70 kohm in room temperature)
d) Grounding of the thermal sensor (possible oxidation)
e) Poor connection (oxidation) at CN4 connector (PRO-1 models only)
f) Poor or no ground at the controller (DPU) board – ensure that all screws
securing the board are in place
g) Missing screw(s) that secure the escutcheon to the frame (OCS models
only)
h) If all steps above check OK, the error(s) may be caused by defective
controller (DPU) board

OCS
PRO-1
PRO-2

F44

This code will appear if there is malfunction of the keypad. Check:
a) Ribbon connector of the keypad for conductive residue or oxidation
b) Perform continuity test of the keypad (use matrix shown in the service
manual - DPU circuit diagram)
c) Replace the keypad, if both steps prove to be inconclusive

PRO-1
PRO-2

F81, F82, F83,
F84

These codes indicate there is no voltage supplied to the primary winding of the high
voltage transformer. The relationship between the codes and transformers is as
follows:
F81 (PRO-1) – Upper transformer
F81 (NE1780J, NE1780R, NE2180) – Left transformer
F81 (NE2680J, NE2680R, NE3280) – Lower left transformer
F82 (PRO-1) – Lower transformer
F82 (NE2680J, NE2680R, NE3280) – Lower right transformer
F83 (NE2680J, NE2680R, NE3280) – Upper left transformer
F84 (NE1780J, NE1780R, NE2180) – Right transformer
F84 (NE2680J, NE2680R, NE3280) – Upper right transformer

NOTE: These codes are not caused by defective high voltage components
(magnetrons, capacitor, diodes, and transformers. Replacing these
components will not solve the problem.
After identifying the malfunctioning circuit, perform the troubleshooting in the
following order:
a)
b)
c)
d)

Check line fuses and replace if needed
Check door for proper alignment, wear and tear, and excessive movement
Check door hooks for wear and tear (it may affect the switching sequence)
Check latch switch assembly and make sure that all switches operate
properly. Make sure they turn on and off when the door is open and closed.
Confirm there are free of grease and debris. NOTE: Replace all switches
even though only one may appear malfunctioning.
e) Troubleshoot relays (on the low voltage board)
f) Check controller (DPU) board for voltages necessary to actuate relays
g) Check controller (DPU) board for cracks, poor connections, or conductive
residue on the component side. Clean, repair, or apply technical bulletin
(NE1018-1757)
h) Replace low voltage board (only if confirmed defective)
i) Replace controller (DPU) board (only if confirmed defective)

F86, F87, F88,
F89

These codes indicate malfunction one of the relays (shorted contacts). The
relationship between the models and relays is as follows:

PRO-1
PRO-2

F86 – RY3 (PRO-1, PRO-2)
F87 – RY4 (PRO-1)
F87 – RY5 (NE2680J, NE2680R, NE3280)
F88 – RY7 (NE2680J, NE2680R, NE3280)
F89 – RY9 (PRO-2)
a) On PRO-1apply technical bulletin (NE1018-1757) if applicable.
NOTE: Before replacing the relays, make sure that the controller (DPU) board is free
of residue or conductive substances (component side). Clean if necessary.

No light in the
cavity, no
display, when
the door is
open

a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

Line voltage (circuit breaker)
Fuses
Cavity thermal cutout
Thermal cutouts on all magnetrons
Voltages on controller (DPU) board – if missing, check the low voltage
transformer

Oven will not
start when the
START pad is
pressed (light

and display
present)

a)
b)
c)
d)

Check the “A” switch for proper operation
Check the upper door hook to make sure it is actuating the switch
Check the wiring from the “A” switch to the controller (DPU) board
Check for 25 volts on both contacts of the “A” switch (with the door
closed)

PRO-1

If none of the above solves the problem – replace the controller (DPU) board

Oven will not
start when
MEMORY
(number) pads
are pressed.

Most likely, the oven’s memory (programming) has not been locked. Perform
the PROGRAM LOCK procedure. Refer to programming instructions at the
beginning of service manual.

Oven will not
accept any
programming
instructions

Most likely, the oven is in the PROGRAM LOCK mode. Perform the unlocking
procedure, as per service manual.

PRO-2

Fuse opens
immediately
after the
START pad is
pressed

Most likely, shorted high voltage capacitor is responsible for this symptom.
Also check the interlock switch, high voltage diode (for shorts), protector diode
(where installed), high voltage transformer (for shorts)
