Possible Causes

Timer not set to manual mode, Child lock active, Faulty start button, Defective timer relay contacts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work should be done with power on; for control checks, follow the manual.

  • Set timer to manual: On many Caple ovens, the timer must be set to manual or a cooking duration. Ensure the symbol for manual operation is displayed.
  • Disable child lock: Use the key combination in the manual to unlock the controls.
  • Test start button: If the button feels stuck or does not click, remove the control panel (with power off) and inspect the switch. Replace the button or PCB if faulty.
  • Check timer relay: On models with a separate timer module, ensure the relay contacts close when a program is started. Replace the timer if the relay fails.
