How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset the breaker. Disconnect the oven from mains. This fault involves dangerous voltages; if unsure, contact a qualified technician.
- Visual inspection: Remove rear and top panels. Look for burnt wires, melted insulation, or signs of arcing near elements and terminal block.
- Element insulation test: Disconnect each heating element and test resistance between each terminal and the metal chassis. Any continuity indicates a shorted element that must be replaced.
- Check moisture: If the oven was recently cleaned with excessive water or steam, allow it to dry thoroughly for 24 hours before retesting.
- Control board: Inspect for burnt components. Replace the board if a short is evident.
