If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before removing any panels. High voltage is present inside the control area.
- Power cycle: Turn the breaker off for 10 minutes, then back on. If F1 returns immediately, the EOC is likely faulty.
- Inspect wiring: Remove the rear console cover. Check for burnt connectors, loose harness plugs, or signs of moisture on the EOC board. Correct any loose connections.
- Check for overheating: Look for discoloration on the board or melted plastic around relays. This indicates internal failure.
- Replace EOC: If F1 persists after wiring checks and reset, replace the electronic oven control with the correct Blomberg part number for your model.
Due to the need to handle live-voltage components and correctly transfer wiring, this repair is best done by an experienced DIYer or technician.
