How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is idle and cool before troubleshooting.
- Check for child lock: Refer to the Salter user manual for the specific key combination to enable/disable the control lock (often holding a specific button for several seconds). Try disabling it.
- Power cycle: Turn off power at the mains for 10–15 minutes to reset the control PCB, then test button response.
- Test buttons: If some buttons work and others do not, the touch panel may be faulty. Replace the touch control panel.
- Replace control PCB: If no buttons respond despite a working display and correct supply, the main control PCB may be defective and require replacement.
Warning: Do not attempt to bypass safety interlocks or door switches to force the oven to start.
