How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker before accessing the control board.
- Power reset: Turn off breaker for 10 minutes, then restore power. If F5 returns immediately, the EOC is likely defective.
- Inspect EOC: Remove the control panel and inspect the board for burnt components or cracked solder joints around relays.
- Replace EOC: If visual damage is present or F5 persists after reset, replace the electronic oven control. Transfer any overlay or mounting hardware from the old board.
