Possible Causes
Loose harness between boards, Oxidized connectors, Faulty secondary PCB (e.g. power board), Firmware incompatibility between replaced boards
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the oven from mains before removing any panels.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Identify board layout: Some Zanussi ovens use separate power and interface boards. Locate both and the harness between them.
- 2. Reseat connectors: Unplug and replug all multi-pin connectors between boards several times to clean contacts.
- 3. Inspect for damage: Look for bent pins, corrosion, or heat damage on connectors.
- 4. Check part numbers: If a board was recently replaced, verify that both boards are compatible versions as per Zanussi parts documentation.
- 5. Replace suspect board: If F50 persists, replace the board most likely at fault (often the smaller interface board first), then the main PCB if needed.
Warning: Static-sensitive components are present; use ESD precautions when handling PCBs.
