What it means

This explanation is shared only by models whose manufacturer documents the same code, meaning, and guidance.
Manufacturer guidance
- Leave the door closed until the countdown begins.
- Continue underheated food with Cook Time.
- Check the food and vented cover; the text alone does not establish a bad sensor.
