Beko [Er 89] fault codewhat it means and how to fix it

Beko head these four codes microwave errors and gate them in the table with the note in ovens with microwave feature, so they can only appear on a combination appliance. Their answer is the standard one: consult an authorized service for the error to be resolved. This is the band where that instruction deserves to be taken more literally than elsewhere.

A microwave generates its energy with a magnetron driven by a high-voltage capacitor, and that capacitor can hold a dangerous charge after the appliance has been isolated. It is genuinely not a part of any appliance to go looking inside, and the usual reassurance that the worst you can do is break it further does not apply. Beyond that, Beko publish nothing — no cause, no distinction between the four numbers, no owner check. What is worth establishing before you call is whether the conventional oven functions still work, because on a combination appliance the two systems are largely separate and a microwave fault often leaves you with a working oven.

1. 1

   Check whether the conventional oven functions still work. On a combination appliance the two systems are largely independent and you may still have an oven.

2. 2

   Make sure the door is closing properly and there is nothing on the seal, since microwave interlocks are unforgiving about that.

3. 3

   Stop there and contact an authorised service, quoting the exact number.

   Do not open a microwave for any reason. The high-voltage capacitor can hold a dangerous charge long after the appliance is isolated, which is not true of the rest of an oven.
