Possible Causes
Aging EOC timing circuit, electrical noise on power line, internal control fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal access is required initially. Disconnect power before replacing the control board.
Steps to address:
- Reset clock: Set the correct time and monitor over several days to confirm drift.
- Power quality: Ensure the range is on a dedicated circuit without large inductive loads (e.g., compressors) that may cause interference.
- Replace EOC: If the clock consistently gains or loses significant time, replace the EOC.
Tip: Use an external timer for critical cooking until the control is replaced.
