How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker immediately. Allow the oven to cool completely.

  • Check vents and installation:
    • Ensure vents are clear and the oven has proper clearance.
  • Inspect sensor and high-limit:
    • Test the oven temperature sensor for correct resistance.
    • Check the high-limit thermostat or thermal fuse for continuity; replace if open.
  • Inspect relays:
    • Look for welded or burnt heater relays on the main PCB.
  • Replace faulty parts:
    • Replace any failed sensor, thermostat, or PCB as needed.
  • Because overheating is a safety issue, professional service is recommended.
