Possible Causes

Faulty function selector switch, child lock active, door not detected as closed, blown internal thermal fuse

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before opening any panels.

  • Check display messages: Look for lock symbols or messages indicating child lock or demo mode; disable as per manual.
  • Verify door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly. If the oven thinks the door is open, it may block heating. Inspect and, if needed, replace the door switch.
  • Test selector switch: On knob-controlled models, the function selector may fail. A technician should test continuity across switch contacts in each position and replace the switch if faulty.
  • Inspect thermal fuse: Many Gorenje ovens have a thermal cut-out on the top or rear of the cavity. If open, it will prevent heating. Replace with the exact rated part if blown and investigate cause of overheating.
