Possible Causes

Control lock feature enabled, Improper cook mode or temperature selection, Faulty oven door switch not indicating closed, Failed Start key on touchpad

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work is needed initially; follow programming steps first. Disconnect power before accessing switches or controls.

Steps to check and correct:

  • Check control lock: Look for a lock icon on the display. Disable control lock by holding the designated key combination (refer to user manual).
  • Reprogram cycle: Select a standard bake temperature and press Start firmly. Ensure the door is fully closed.
  • Test door switch: If the oven light does not change when opening/closing the door, the door switch may be faulty and should be tested and replaced.
  • Test Start key: If other keys respond but Start does not, the touchpad may be failing and require replacement.

When to call a technician: If door switch or touchpad replacement is needed, or if the control does not respond after these checks, contact a service technician.
