Possible Causes

Incorrect timer/program mode (timer only), Faulty function selector, Failed heater relay, Door not detected as closed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work is needed for basic checks; disconnect power before opening panels.

  • Check mode: Ensure you have selected a cooking function (e.g., conventional bake) and not just the minute minder or timer.
  • Verify door closure: Make sure the door is fully closed and the door switch is operating.
  • Test other modes: Try grill and fan modes. If none heat, suspect the main heater relay or power supply.
  • Inspect selector and relays: With power off, check the function selector switch and control board relays for damage. Replace the faulty component.

Tip: Refer to the user manual to confirm correct programming steps; some models require pressing 'Start' after setting time and temperature.
