How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting wiring or control boards.

  • Check mains connections: Inspect the terminal block and main wiring for loose or burnt connections. Tighten as needed.
  • Test sensor: Verify the oven temperature sensor resistance is stable and within specification. Replace if readings jump or are inconsistent.
  • Control board replacement: If relays are audibly chattering and supply is stable, the control board may be defective and require replacement.
