Possible Causes
Shorted temperature sensor, stuck relay on control board, miswired thermostat, failed selector switch contacts
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Switch off the oven at the mains immediately to prevent fire risk.
- Do not use until fixed: Overheating is dangerous; avoid further use.
- Sensor test: With power off, test the temperature sensor resistance. A very low resistance or short indicates failure; replace the sensor.
- Relay inspection: Inspect the main PCB for a relay that appears welded or burnt. A stuck-closed relay can keep elements powered.
- Wiring check: Ensure no bypass wiring has been added and that the thermostat/sensor is correctly connected.
Runaway heating faults often require replacement of the main control board and/or sensor and should be handled by a professional.
