Safety Checks You Can Do

Steps you can try at home safely

• Verify the circuit breaker serving your oven is in the ON position; if tripped, reset it and attempt to use the oven again • Ensure the oven door is fully closed and latches completely with no obstructions • Check that your oven is receiving proper electrical power by confirming other kitchen appliances on the same circuit are functioning • Review your oven's control panel settings to confirm no override modes or diagnostic tests are active • Allow the oven to cool completely for at least 30 minutes before attempting any troubleshooting • Perform a complete reset: Turn off the circuit breaker serving the oven for exactly 60 seconds, then turn it back ON and wait 5 minutes before attempting to use the oven • If error persists after reset, unplug the oven from the wall outlet for 60 seconds if it's a 120V model, or switch off the dedicated breaker for 60 seconds if it's a 240V model • Do NOT attempt to access, test, or replace the temperature sensor yourself as this requires professional calibration and may void your warranty
