How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool and power is off before accessing internal components.
Reset and clear previous cycle:
- Turn off power at the breaker for 5–10 minutes.
- Restore power and ensure the door is fully closed.
- Attempt to start a self-clean cycle again.
Check door lock and thermostats:
- Access the door lock assembly and verify the lock switch changes state when the lock engages.
- Test the high-limit thermostats for continuity.
- Replace any open thermostats or a faulty door lock assembly.
If E17 continues, the main control board may be at fault and should be replaced by a technician.
