Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Disconnect power before inspecting internal components.

  • Check ventilation: Ensure vents around the control panel are not blocked.
  • Inspect cooling fan: Verify the cooling fan runs during high-temperature operation.
  • Test door switch: A loose or intermittent door switch can cause the oven to think the door opened; test for solid continuity when closed.
  • Replace EOC: If external causes are ruled out, the control board may be failing and should be replaced.
