Possible Causes
Worn or dirty oven function selector switch, Broken detents causing ambiguous position, Loose wiring on selector contacts, Failed input circuit on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before removing the control panel or knobs.
- Check knob alignment: Ensure the oven function knob is pointing exactly to a valid position (e.g., Bake, Grill). Slight misalignment can cause F7.
- Remove knob: Pull off the function knob and inspect the shaft for damage.
- Access selector switch: Remove the front panel to expose the rotary selector. Look for burned contacts or loose terminals.
- Contact cleaning: If lightly oxidized, clean contacts with electrical contact cleaner. Do not bend contact arms excessively.
- Replace selector: If the switch feels loose, skips positions, or shows burned tracks, replace it with the correct Ilve selector switch.
