Error codeE11
ApplianceMicrowave
A system error on an Electrolux built-in combination microwave oven makes the display show an error message. For E11, the cause is moisture in the control panel.
What to do
Give the control panel time to dry out.
If E11 is still on the display afterward, contact service.
Drying is the single owner step named in the Electrolux support article, and service is its recommendation if the code does not clear.
If E11 remains once the panel has dried, San Francisco and Bay Area owners can call (415) 449-0036. Mention how long it was left to dry and give the model number. See Electrolux microwave repair.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so E11 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
