Possible Causes

Stuck bake or broil relay on main PCB, Burnt relay contacts, PCB damage from overheating, Shorted heating element drawing excessive current

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker immediately. Do not use the oven until the issue is resolved.

  • Check elements:
    • Visually inspect bake and broil elements for visible breaks, blisters, or arcing marks.
  • Inspect PCB:
    • Remove the rear panel and inspect the main relay board for burnt relays or traces.
  • Test elements (advanced):
    • Disconnect one wire from each element and measure resistance; compare to service specs.
    • Replace any element that is shorted or significantly out of spec.
  • Replace main PCB: If relays are stuck or the board is burnt, replace the main relay control board.
  • Due to fire risk, professional service is strongly recommended.
