Possible Causes
Open specific heating element, Faulty mode selector relay on PCB, Loose wiring to one element, Burnt connector on mode output
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power and allow the oven to cool before testing elements.
Steps to diagnose:
- Identify failing modes: Test each cooking mode and note which ones do not heat.
- Map modes to elements: Refer to the user manual or wiring diagram (if available) to see which elements are used in each mode.
- Test affected element: Access and measure resistance of the element associated with the failing mode. Replace if open.
- Inspect connectors and wiring: Check for burnt or loose connectors on the affected element and at the control board output.
- Control board relay: If the element is good but never energizes in its mode, the corresponding relay on the PCB may be faulty. Replace the main control board.
- Test: After repairs, verify that all modes heat correctly.
