Possible Causes

Timer not set to auto mode, Faulty timer relay contacts welded, Incorrect wiring of timer contacts, Failed electronic timer module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power before accessing the timer wiring.

  • Check user settings: Ensure you are using the automatic cooking function correctly; some models require setting both start and stop times.
  • Test manual vs auto: Verify that the oven can be turned off manually. If it cannot, the timer relay may be welded closed.
  • Inspect timer wiring: Compare wiring to the schematic. Ensure the common and switched contacts are correctly connected.
  • Replace timer: If the relay contacts are stuck or the timer does not switch the oven off in auto mode, replace the electronic timer module.
