Possible Causes
Failed main control PCB, Corrupted EEPROM on control board, Voltage surge damage to logic circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker before inspection.
- Power cycle: Turn off power for 10–15 minutes to fully discharge the control board. Restore power and check if F1 reappears.
- Check supply voltage: Ensure the oven is connected to the correct voltage (e.g., 220–240 V AC). Overvoltage or undervoltage can damage the control PCB.
- Inspect control PCB: Remove the top or front trim to access the main control board. Look for burnt components, bulging capacitors, or darkened areas.
- Check connectors: Verify all harness connectors to the control board are firmly seated and not corroded.
- Replace control PCB: If F1 persists and visible damage is present, the main control PCB will typically need replacement. Use the exact Hitachi part number printed on the board.
Note: Board-level repair (soldering components) should only be done by an experienced electronics technician.
