Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. Working on mains connections can be lethal; if you are not experienced with electrical systems, contact a qualified electrician.
Step-by-step checks:
- Verify supply voltage: Have a qualified person measure the voltage at the wall outlet or junction box. Confirm it matches the oven's rating (e.g., 220–240V).
- Inspect terminal block: Remove the rear cover to access the power terminal block. Check for loose screws, burnt insulation, or discoloration.
- Tighten connections: With power off, tighten all terminal screws to manufacturer torque specs. Replace any burnt lugs or wires.
- Check power cord: For freestanding models, inspect the cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace if damaged.
When to replace parts: If supply and connections are correct but E4 persists, the electronic control board power supply section may be faulty and the board should be replaced.
