What's Happening

The main electronic control can't communicate with other oven components. This is a control board failure that prevents normal operation.

How to Fix It

Reset power at the breaker for 30 seconds. If E-43 persists, the main control board needs replacement. Professional diagnosis is recommended before replacing expensive components.
