Possible Causes
Overheating control board, Loose wiring harness, Failing relay on main PCB, Faulty thermal cut-out opening intermittently
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting internal components.
- Reproduce fault: Note if the oven stops after a certain time or temperature, which may indicate overheating.
- Check cooling: Ensure the cooling fan runs and vents are clear to prevent control board overheating.
- Inspect wiring: Wiggle harnesses gently (with power off) to check for loose connections at the control board and thermal cut-out.
- Test TCO: Replace a thermal cut-out that shows signs of heat damage or intermittent open readings.
- Control board: If relays click off and do not re-engage, the main control board may be failing and require replacement.
