How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting wiring.
- Check for error codes: Note any codes that appear when the oven shuts off; they can guide diagnosis.
- Inspect terminal block: Remove the rear panel and check the main power terminal block for loose or burnt connections. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Control cooling: Ensure vents around the control panel are not blocked. On models with a cooling fan, verify it operates during high-heat use.
- Sensor and control: Test the oven sensor and inspect the EOC for heat damage. Replace faulty components.
Note: Intermittent faults can be difficult to reproduce; document when and how the shutdown occurs.
