Possible Causes

Electronic timer left in automatic mode, End time programmed in the past, Child lock enabled on timer, Faulty timer contacts not passing power to oven

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work is needed for timer settings; keep hands away from live parts.

  • Set to manual: Press the timer mode button until the manual symbol (often a hand icon) appears. Clear any start or end times.
  • Reset timer: Disconnect power for a few minutes, reconnect, and set the clock. Many ovens will not heat until the clock is set.
  • Disable child lock: Follow the user manual to turn off any child lock feature.
  • If still no heat: The timer relay contacts may be faulty and not passing power to the oven; the timer module may need replacement.
