Ilve Control Board Lockup / Overheat

Oven display and controls freeze or become unresponsive during cooking until power is cycled.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Control board overheating due to failed cooling fan, firmware glitch, marginal power supply on PCB, electrical noise on mains

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing internal components.

Steps:

Verify that the cooling fan behind the control panel runs whenever the oven is heating; replace the fan if it does not operate.
Ensure ventilation slots around the control panel are not blocked.
Perform a power reset and check if the issue recurs at high temperatures only; if so, suspect board overheating.
If lockups persist despite proper cooling, the main control board may need replacement.
