How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: This fault involves high-voltage components. Disconnect power and consider professional service if you are not experienced.

  • Check supply voltage: Verify that the range is receiving full rated voltage at the terminal block (typically 220–240 V). Low or missing leg can cause relay faults.
  • Inspect control board: Remove the control panel and visually inspect the board for burnt or cracked solder joints around the power relays.
  • Element continuity: Test bake and broil elements for continuity. An open element can sometimes trigger relay-related errors.
  • Board replacement: If elements and wiring are good but relays do not energize and F40 persists, replace the electronic oven control board.
