Oven display is blank; no lights or response

Safety first: Before assuming the oven is dead, verify power at the breaker panel.

• Step 1 – Check breaker and outlet: Ensure the oven's breaker is ON and not tripped. For plug-in models, verify the outlet has power using another appliance.
• Step 2 – Inspect power cord and terminal block: With power off, check that the cord is securely connected and the terminal block is not burnt.
• Step 3 – Thermal fuse: Many ovens have an internal thermal fuse that opens if the unit overheats. Access the fuse (often behind the control panel or rear panel) and test for continuity. Replace if open.
• Step 4 – Control board: If power is present at the control board but the display is blank, the board is likely defective and must be replaced.

Note: If the oven went dead during or after self-clean, a blown thermal fuse is a common cause.
