Possible Causes
Blown internal control fuse, Open neutral or control transformer, Failed EOC, Loose harness connector
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the control panel.
- Check for control fuse: Some Magic Chef models have a small fuse on or near the control board. Test and replace if blown, but investigate for shorts.
- Inspect wiring: Verify that the harness supplying power to the EOC is firmly connected and not heat-damaged.
- Test incoming voltage: A technician can verify that the EOC is receiving the correct line and neutral voltages.
- Replace EOC: If power is present but the control is dead, replace the electronic oven control.
When to call a technician: Because this involves internal wiring and live voltage, professional service is recommended for most homeowners.
