Possible Causes
Incorrect mains frequency detected by control board, Severe voltage fluctuation, Faulty mains sensing circuit on PCB, Incompatible region-coded control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before accessing internal components.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Verify supply: Use a multimeter to confirm the mains voltage and frequency match the oven's rating plate (e.g. 230V 50Hz). If not, consult an electrician.
- 2. Check for shared circuits: Avoid running the oven on an overloaded or unstable circuit that may cause dips or spikes.
- 3. Power reset: Disconnect power for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect and test.
- 4. Replace control board: If supply is correct but F40 persists, the mains sensing circuit on the PCB is likely faulty; replace the main control board with the correct regional version.
Warning: Persistent supply issues should be investigated by a qualified electrician, not by replacing oven parts repeatedly.
