Danby Overheat Protection or Control Fault

Oven shuts off by itself before the set time is reached.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Overheating control area due to failed cooling fan, Faulty temperature sensor, Defective control board

Safety First: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before inspection.

Check cooling fan: Ensure the control area cooling fan runs during high-temperature operation. Replace if not running.
Test sensor: Verify the oven temperature sensor is within specification. Replace if readings are erratic.
Ventilation: Confirm that the oven has proper ventilation and is not installed too tightly in cabinetry.
Control board: If all hardware checks out, the control board may be prematurely terminating cycles and should be replaced.
