Indesit oven display shows F08 and beeps, oven will not start, often after a power cut

Safety: Isolate from mains. Control boards contain live and high-voltage sections.

Steps:

• 1. Check mains supply: Verify correct voltage at the wall outlet and that the cooker is wired correctly at the terminal block (L, N, and earth connections tight and not bridged incorrectly).
• 2. Inspect control board: Remove the top or rear cover to access the main control module. Look for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or a burnt smell.
• 3. Reseat connectors: Unplug and reconnect all harness plugs to the control board to ensure good contact.
• 4. Surge damage: If visible damage is present or the board does not power up correctly, the module will usually need replacement. Board-level repair is not recommended for untrained users.
• 5. Replace control module: Order the exact Indesit control board by model and serial number. Transfer each connector one at a time from the old board to the new one to avoid miswiring.
