Possible Causes
Failed bake or broil relay, Shorted triac controlling elements, Heat damage to control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power before accessing the control board. High voltages are present on relay contacts.
- Visual inspection: Remove the control panel and inspect the board for burnt relay contacts, darkened areas, or cracked solder joints near the element relays.
- Check element operation: If only one function (bake or broil) fails with E5, suspect the corresponding relay. If both fail, the board's power section may be damaged.
- Replace control board: Danby control boards are not typically repaired at component level. Replace the entire board with the correct part number.
- Verify cooling: Ensure the control area cooling fan (if equipped) is working to prevent repeat failures.
