Possible Causes
Faulty timer/clock module, intermittent overheat thermostat, loose connection on control board, software glitch in program logic
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing control electronics.
- Test in manual mode: Run the oven without using automatic programs (manual temperature and function only). If it runs normally, the issue may be with specific programs or timer settings.
- Check overheat thermostats: Test cavity and cooling thermostats for intermittent operation by gently tapping while monitoring continuity.
- Inspect control board solder joints: Look for cracked or dull solder joints on relays and connectors. Reflow or replace the board if necessary.
- Replace timer module: If the timer display behaves erratically or resets, replace the electronic timer/clock module.
Note: Ensure that auto-off or end-time functions are not accidentally set, which can mimic a fault.
