Possible Causes

Defective start button on keypad, Control board not sending start signal, Child lock or Sabbath mode active, Faulty door switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool and power is stable.

  • Check modes: Verify that control lock and Sabbath mode are disabled.
  • Door switch: Ensure the door is fully closed and the door switch is functioning. Replace if it does not signal closed.
  • Keypad test: Press the Start button firmly. If it does not beep or respond, the keypad may be faulty and require replacement.
  • Control board: If the keypad and door switch are good but the oven never attempts to energize relays, the control board may be defective.
