Possible Causes
Tripped self-clean thermal cutout, Faulty cavity overheat thermostat, Blocked cooling airflow during self-clean
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the oven to cool completely. Self-clean temperatures are extremely high.
- Check vents: Ensure that no foil or panels block the oven's cooling vents. Remove any obstructions.
- Inspect self-clean thermostat: Access the top or rear of the oven to locate the self-clean thermal cutout. Test for continuity with a multimeter.
- Manual reset: Some thermostats have a small reset button. If present, press it gently to reset after cooling.
- Replace thermostat: If the thermostat or thermal cutout is open and non-resettable, replace it with the specified Hitachi part.
