NOTE: Control display will flash “LOCK DOOR”
if the door switch is in the “C” to “NC” position
(door open).
• The words “LOCK DOOR” will flash on and

off in the display while the lock motor is in
motion.  When the door is locked, the words
“LOCKED DOOR” remain illuminated in the
display.

• CAM – The cam on the motor performs two

functions:
1. Positions the lock hook in the door to

prevent opening during clean operation.

2. Operates the lock switches which tell the

control if the door is unlocked or locked
and ready for Clean operation.

NOTE: When
door is
either being
locked or
unlocked,
both lock
switches will
be in the
open
position.

MOTORIZED DOOR LOCK

The motorized door lock assembly is located above the oven. The assembly
consists of a lock motor cam and switch assembly, lock hook and mounting
plate.

MOTORIZED DOOR LOCK OPERATION

The lock motor is energized when the control is set for Clean and Clean Time

is selected. The K4 Relay contacts will close and complete the circuit that
supplies the voltage to the lock motor.

TO REMOVE CONVECTION BAKE
ELEMENT:
Remove 3 screws mounting element
to back wall and pull forward and
disconnect wires.

TO SERVICE FAN:
Fan blade can be replaced from
inside oven. Oven must be
removed from installation to
access convection fan motor.

TO ACCESS CONVECTION BAKE ELEMENT:
1. Disconnect power to range; remove oven door and

oven racks.

2. Remove 4 screws mounting panel (2 on each side)

and pull forward.

CONVECTION BAKE ELEMENT AND FAN ASSEMBLY

The convection bake element and fan assembly are located on the back wall
of the oven liner behind the panel with the screen in the center.

FAILURE
CODE

 MEANING

  CORRECTION

Determine if problem is with key panel or control by
disconnecting ribbon cable and measuring flat cable pins
13 to 14. Should be open. Should be 100–150 ohms while
pressing OFF key.

 -F2-

1. Inside oven cavity as measured by

sensor over 650

°

F unlatched or

915

°

F latched

• Welded relay contacts
• Cooling fan stalled or blocked
• Airflow to rear of unit
• High resistance in oven sensor leads/connectors

(especially at sensor in rear)

Shorted OFF key

-F0-

Over temperature

ERC FAILURE CODES

The oven may stop operating but not give an F code on the display immediately.
F codes are stored in nonvolatile eeprom memory until the same fault occurs
twice consecutively. After that, the F code will be displayed. F codes can be
recalled by pressing together TIMER, CLOCK, MIN DOWN or 9. While F codes are
displayed, pressing MIN UP or 8 and HR DOWN or 6 together will clear them. A
fault must exist continuously for 5 minutes before an F code is recorded (F2 and
F8 are sooner).

THERMAL SWITCH

The thermal switch is located on the floor of the component compartment in
front of the fan motor. The thermal switch is wired in series with the lock
motor switches. The limit switch opens at 240

°

F and closes when

temperatures cool below 190

°

F. If the thermal switch opens during:

1. Oven Temperature Below 600

°

F, program is cancelled when thermal

switch opens. Lock motor will run and the words “LOCK” and “DOOR”
will be flashing in the display.

2. Oven Temperature Above 600

°

F, any mode of operation control will go to

-F2- failure code. When this condition exists, check the fan operation (look
for obstructions), inspect oven installation (make sure grille areas are not
blocked), oven insulation and lock circuit.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

The control has a section that can be entered to change how the control will work.
To enter this section:
Press and hold BAKE and BROIL pads for 2 (two) seconds and “SF” appears in
the display. Select the area to change. When the change has been made, press
START to return to Time of Day.
• End-of-Cycle Tone – Press TIMER pad. Display shows “Con Beep” when control

is set for continuous End-of-Cycle Tone or “Beep” when set for noncontinuous.

°

F or 

°

– Press BROIL pad. Display will show either “F

°

 or “C

°

.  Press BROIL

pad again to change.

• 12-Hour, 24-Hour, or blank out Time-of-Day Clock – Press CLOCK pad. Display

will show “12 hr,” “24 hr,” “OFF” for blank clock. Press again to change.

• 12-Hour Shutdown comes set to shut down after 12 hours of continuous operation;

this can be eliminated—press DELAY START pad. Display will show “No Shdn. To
turn back on, press DELAY START pad again and display will show “12 Shdn.

• Sales Mode (special feature for sales floor demonstration) – Press CLOCK and

TIMER pads at the same time. Display will start to cycle through the different modes
of operation.

• Sabbath Mode – This feature disables all but Bake and Timed Bake, overrides

12-Hour Shutdown, disables beeps, and puts symbols in the display during Bake.
Access by pressing DELAY START pad until display shows “SabbAtH. Exit by
pressing DELAY START until “No Shdn” or “12 Shdn” shows.

BAKE THERMAL SWITCH

The bake thermal switch is wired in series with the lock motor switches.
The limit switch opens at 169

°

F and closes at 140

°

F. If the thermal switch

opens during Bake, the program is cancelled and the lock motor will run.
The words “LOCK DOOR” will flash in the display.

make the following checks:

• Check oven light bulb.
• Light is to come on when door

is opened—check voltage

should read 120 VAC. If 0 volts,
check jamb switch and wiring.

• Light is to come on when

control light pad is pressed.
RLY105 should click. Check
voltage from P104-7 to L1. It
should read 120 VAC. If 0 volts,
check oven light keypad using
ohmmeter test. If keypad is
good, replace the control.
