Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your oven range after installing the control board, consider the following:
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display lights are faded or numbers are not lighting up. | Faulty control board or display component. | If this issue persists after installation, the control board may need replacement. Ensure all connections are secure. |
| Oven functions (bake/broil) are not working. | Incorrect wiring, faulty heating element, or issue with the control board. | Verify all wiring connections are correct and secure. Check heating elements for continuity. If elements are functional, the control board may be faulty. |
| Buttons are unresponsive or overly sensitive. | Overlay misalignment or internal button issue. | Ensure the overlay is correctly aligned over the buttons. If the issue persists, the control board may have a manufacturing defect. |
| Oven not heating to correct temperature. | Faulty temperature sensor (thermistor) or control board issue. | Test the oven temperature sensor for proper resistance. If the sensor is functional, the control board may be at fault. |
For issues not listed here, or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, it is recommended to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.
