OVEN CALIBRATION
Set the electronic oven control for normal baking at 350°F/177°C. Obtain an average oven temperature after a
minimum of 5 cycles. Press Cancel to end bake mode.
Note: Changing calibration affects all the cooking modes but not the clean mode.
ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL
Note: Only three families of fault codes are displayed by this control “F1”, “F3”, and “F9”. Generally speaking “F1” implies
an internal control failure, “F3” an oven probe problem, and “F9” a latch motor problem. In all ocurrences the alarm is
accompanied by a display of the error code.
1. Shorted keypad.
2. Control's internal checksum may
have become corrupted.
3. Control has sensed a potential
runaway oven condition. Control may
have shorted relay, RTD sensor probe
may have gone bad.
1. Open RTD sensor probe/ wiring
problem. Note: EOC may initially
display an "F1", thinking a runaway
condition exists.
2. Shorted RTD sensor probe / wiring
problem. Note: "F3" is displayed
when oven is in active mode or an
attempt to enter an active mode is
made.
3. Abusive operation (safety
thermostat).
4. Safety thermostat opened, or cooling
fan stalled.
1. Door motor failure / jammed. Latch
motor switch failure.
2. Control software failure, or
component failure (relay stuck).
3. Wiring Problem.
Likely Failure Condition/Cause
Suggested Corrective Action
Fault Code
1. Press CLEAR or CANCEL pad.
2. Disconnect power, wait 30 seconds and reapply power. If
fault returns upon power-up, replace EOC.
3. Check RTD sensor probe and replace if necessary. If oven
is overheating, disconnect power. If oven continues to
overheat when the power is reapplied, replace EOC.
Severe overheating may require the entire oven to be
replaced, should damage be extensive.
1. Press CLEAR or CANCEL pad.
2. Check wiring in probe circuit for possible open or short
condition. Check RTD resistance at room temperature
(compare to probe resistance chart). If resistance does not
match the chart, replace the RTD sensor probe.
3. Let the oven cool down and restart the function
4. Look for stalled cooling fan, broken safety thermostat
(opens).
1. Press CLEAR key.
2. If CLEAR key does not eliminate problem, turn off power
for 30 seconds, then turn on power.
3. Check wiring of Lock Motor, and Lock Switch A and B, and
Door Switch circuits.
4. Apply power (L1) directly to the Lock Motor, if the motor
does not rotate, replace Lock Motor Assembly.
5. Check Lock Switch A, and B for proper operation (do they
open and close, check with ohmmeter). The Lock Motor
may be powered as in above step to open and close Lock
Switches. If the Lock Switches are defective, replace Motor
Lock Assembly.
6. If all above steps fail to correct situation, replace control.
