Possible Causes

Door not locking properly, Faulty pyrolytic temperature sensor, Failed high-temperature element, Overtemperature cut-out tripped

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool and isolated from mains before internal checks. Pyrolytic cycles reach very high temperatures; never bypass safety devices.

  • Check door lock: Confirm that the door closes and locks firmly when a pyrolytic cycle is selected. If not, inspect and replace the door lock assembly.
  • Inspect pyrolytic sensor: Some Amica pyrolytic models use a dedicated high-temperature sensor. Test its resistance according to service data; replace if open or out of range.
  • Test heating elements: Verify that both lower and upper/grill elements have correct resistance and no visible damage. Replace any failed element.
  • Check safety thermostats: Reset any manual-reset thermal cut-outs on the oven casing. Replace permanently open devices.
  • Re-test cycle: After repairs, run a short pyrolytic test under supervision to ensure the cycle starts and continues without E20.
