Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the oven from mains. Capacitors on the board can retain a charge; avoid touching components unnecessarily.
- Check external supply: Verify that the wall outlet or cooker connection is supplying the correct voltage and that the oven’s main terminal block is not burnt or loose.
- Access control board: Remove the top or rear cover to access the main control board. Look for an onboard fuse; test it with a multimeter for continuity. Replace only with the same type and rating if blown, and investigate for shorts.
- Visual inspection: Look for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or bulging capacitors. If present, the board should be replaced.
- Replacement: Replace the main electronic control board with the correct Bauknecht spare. Transfer all connectors one by one to avoid mis-wiring.
Note: Component-level repair of SMPS circuits is not recommended for untrained persons due to shock risk.
