Oven will not start heating, display shows error shortly after selecting temperature

Safety: Isolate the appliance from the mains before removing any panels.

• Access the temperature sensor: Identify the sensor probe inside the oven cavity. Remove the rear panel of the cooker to access its connector.
• Check wiring and connector: Ensure the sensor plug is fully seated on the Falcon oven control PCB or intermediate connector. Look for heat-damaged or brittle wires. Repair or replace the Falcon oven sensor harness if insulation is cracked.
• Test the sensor: Disconnect the sensor and measure resistance. If the meter shows open circuit (OL), the sensor is faulty. Replace with a genuine Falcon oven temperature sensor of the correct rating.
• Clear the error: After replacement, restore power and reset the oven by switching off at the isolator for 1–2 minutes. Re-test by setting a moderate temperature and confirming normal heat-up.
