How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing the control compartment.
Step-by-step checks:
- Localize noise: With the oven running (qualified persons only), carefully listen to identify whether the noise comes from the control board area or elsewhere.
- Inspect mounting: After disconnecting power, tighten screws securing the control board and any small transformers.
- Check relays: Look for relays that show signs of overheating or discoloration.
When to replace parts: Mild humming can be normal, but loud or increasing noise may require replacing the electronic oven control board or control transformer if separate.
