Possible Causes

Loose power connection at terminal block, Overheating main control board, Failing thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting wiring or controls.

  • Check power connection: Inspect the rear terminal block and power cord/hardwire connections for looseness or heat damage. Tighten and replace damaged parts.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the oven has proper cabinet clearances and vents are not blocked, allowing the control area to cool.
  • Inspect thermal devices: Locate any thermal fuses or high-limit thermostats on the oven top or rear. Test for intermittent opens by gently tapping while monitoring continuity.
  • Control board: If power and thermal devices are good, the main control (EOC) may be overheating internally and shutting down, requiring replacement.
