Possible Causes

Open-circuit main oven thermostat or temperature sensor, Failed main control board power relay, Multiple heating elements failed, Tripped safety thermostat cutting power to all elements

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the oven from mains power before removing any covers. Some tests require a multimeter and basic electrical knowledge.

  • Check obvious settings:
    • Ensure the clock is set and the oven is not in automatic mode.
    • Confirm a valid cooking function and temperature are selected.
  • Inspect safety thermostat:
    • Remove the top or rear panel to locate the main safety thermostat.
    • If it has a reset button, press it firmly.
    • Test for continuity; replace if open and non-resettable.
  • Test temperature control:
    • On models with a mechanical thermostat, test for continuity across the thermostat contacts when a temperature is selected.
    • On electronic models, test the NTC sensor resistance; replace if open/shorted.
  • Check elements and wiring:
    • Test each heating element (top, bottom, grill) for continuity.
    • Repair any burnt wiring or loose terminals.
  • If all components test OK: The main control board may not be supplying power to the elements. Board replacement should be carried out by a qualified technician.
