It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display. ### What the code covers A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers: - Condensation on the control or relay board after a steamy cook - A spill that has run down behind the fascia - Electrical noise from something else on the same circuit - Operating system issue - Moisture on control board ### What to try yourself - Check the water tank is seated and that the drain and fill paths are clear - Switch the appliance off at the breaker for half an hour and let it dry - Look for a recent spill or a kettle or steam oven venting straight at the fascia ### Then what Damp clears on its own more often than people expect, so the wait is worth doing before anybody is called. A board that reads the same after drying has taken the damage rather than the water. This code is published for built-in ovens & steam ovens. The [full list of codes](https://wolfmiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
