Possible Causes

Failed backup capacitor or battery on control board, Firmware limitation (no backup), Unstable mains supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the control panel.

  • Check user manual: Confirm whether your Gorenje model is designed to retain settings after power loss. Some basic models do not.
  • Inspect control board: Look for a small backup battery or large capacitor near the clock circuit. If visibly leaking or bulging, the board should be repaired or replaced.
  • Stabilize power: If frequent power cuts occur, consider using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or stabilizer for the oven circuit if permitted by local regulations.
  • Board replacement: If backup components have failed and are not easily replaceable, replace the entire control board.
