What can you check?

01
Identify the exact code and model
Photograph the Vestel display showing Er16 and the product model label. The cited manufacturer evidence covers: AF-87105 MSTR - 1. Do not assume other models use the same code meaning.
What the result means: If your model differs, consult its specific manual before acting on the guidance.
02
Stop cooking and allow cooling
Sensor, overheat and pyrolytic-lock codes can require service. Do not open internal panels or force a locked door.
What the result means: Do not restart if there is smoke, burnt wiring smell or abnormal heat.
03
Escalate if the code persists
Give authorised support the exact code, model number and when it appeared. Do not open electrical control boards, valves, fan housings, compressor systems or refrigerant pipes.
What the result means: A code description alone does not prove which component must be replaced.

PRACTICAL FIX / REPAIR

How do you actually fix this?

Start with safe checks. Some codes have no safe home fix; in that case we explain what the professional repair actually involves.

Practical fixes you can try

Switch off and let the oven cool fully. Check program, pyrolytic-cleaning mode, timer and any food-probe setting in the manual.
If a user-removable probe is present, check its normal fit only when cool. Do not poke metallic objects into sockets.
Do not force a locked door or reheat an oven with overheating, burning smells or damage.

If it persists, how is it actually repaired?

An oven technician tests the code-relevant temperature probe, thermal cutout, door lock and controls, repairs the measured fault and validates temperature/door safety.

How do you know it is fixed? The oven should regulate temperature safely and release its lock normally.

Safety and warranty: Warranty terms depend on manufacturer, model and local law. Damage caused by unauthorised disassembly or improper repair may be excluded. Live electrical work, gas, refrigerant circuits and sealed cabinets require qualified professionals; this is not a DIY instruction for those tasks.

Evidence: The manufacturer link above supports the broad code meaning. The repair pathway is a general technical diagnostic explanation, not a confirmed failed-part diagnosis for every model.
