Possible Causes
Burnt contacts inside selector switch, Broken switch shaft, Loose wiring on selector terminals, Melted switch body due to overheating
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect mains power. The selector switch carries full element current.
Steps:
- 1. Check multiple modes: Try all cooking functions. If none start the fan or elements, the selector switch is a prime suspect.
- 2. Access control panel: Remove the front panel to expose the function selector switch.
- 3. Inspect visually: Look for burnt terminals, melted plastic, or loose spade connectors. Tighten or replace connectors as needed.
- 4. Test continuity: Using the wiring diagram, test the switch positions with a multimeter to confirm that the correct contacts close in each mode. Replace the switch if contacts are open when they should be closed.
