Possible Causes
Mechanical timer stuck in AUTO mode, Faulty timer contacts, User not setting manual mode correctly, Worn timer cam
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before removing the control panel.
- Check user settings: Ensure the timer is set to manual or continuous mode as described in the user manual. Many ovens will not heat if left in AUTO without a program.
- Inspect mechanical timer: If fitted, check that the timer knob turns smoothly and that the cam operates the internal switch.
- Continuity test: Test the timer's heating enable contacts with a multimeter. If they do not close in manual mode, replace the timer.
