How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power at the breaker; avoid using the oven until repaired to prevent fire risk.

  • Test oven sensor:
    • Remove and measure RTD resistance at room temperature.
    • If reading is low (e.g., under 900 Ω), replace the Oven Temperature Sensor (RTD).
  • Inspect harness:
    • Check for melted insulation or wires touching each other or metal.
    • Repair or replace the Sensor Harness if damaged.
  • Check control relay:
    • With power off, inspect the EOC for a welded bake relay (burnt or stuck contacts).
    • If the element stays on continuously during operation, replace the Electronic Oven Control (EOC).
