Signs of a Bad Oven Control Board

Common Symptoms You’ll Notice

1. Random error codes. Your oven might flash codes you’ve never seen before, or it could show the same code over and over. That usually means the board can’t process the signal correctly.

2. No heat even though the dial is on. The burner or heating element is fine, but the oven stays cold. A dead control board can shut off power to the heater.

3. Oven won’t turn on at all. If the display is blank and the oven is dead, the board may have lost its power supply or short‑circuited.

4. Unusual noises or clicking. Rapid clicking or buzzing often points to a relay on the board that’s stuck or failing.

5. Temperature swings. You set 180°C and it jumps to 250°C or barely warms up. The board isn’t regulating the heating cycle properly.

These clues show up one at a time or together, and they usually get worse before the board finally quits.

When to Call a Pro

Trying a quick reset can help – turn off the oven at the breaker for a minute, then power it back up. If the symptoms stick around, it’s time to get an expert involved.

Professional technicians can run a voltage test, check for burnt components, and replace the board safely. In Hinckley, a local repair service will have the exact board model and know the wiring layout, saving you time and a risky DIY job.

Don’t ignore the signs. A bad board can cause other parts to wear out faster, bumping up repair costs. Early detection means a small part swap instead of a full oven replacement.

Give us a call if you spot any of these issues. Our certified techs will diagnose the board, explain what’s wrong, and fix it right the first time. Fast, reliable service keeps your oven cooking like it should – no more surprise errors or cold meals.
