Start here
On these models the first split is between a dead display and a display that lights but refuses to start a programme. A shared kitchen circuit that has tripped leaves an oven looking dead with nothing wrong with it. Try another socket on another circuit before concluding anything.
How it presents
- It stopped working immediately after a loud noise — An internal fuse opening because something drew too much. The fuse is reporting a fault, not being one.
- Buttons respond but a programme cannot be entered — Control lock or a membrane panel with failing contacts. The first is free to fix and the second is not.
- The display is completely dark — A supply question. Check the socket and the breaker before anything else, and try another circuit.
- A key symbol or a lock indicator is showing — A child lock, which is released the same way it was set. Not a fault at all.
- NEAR MISS — it runs but does not heat — An oven that counts down and turns its table is not a start fault; the heating page for this family is the one you want.
What it turns out to be, in order
- No supply at the socket, or a tripped breaker — First on this roster. Kitchen circuits carry several heavy appliances and trip readily, and a countertop oven is often plugged into a socket that is also switched at the wall.
- Door latch not operating the interlocks — Second. The door has to close a sequence of switches before anything is permitted, and a latch that has worn or a door that has dropped on its hinges will leave the oven entirely inert.
- Internal fuse opened — A one-time device that opens when something draws more current than it should. Replacing it without finding out what drew the current guarantees a repeat, and it is inside the cabinet regardless.
- Control panel membrane failing — The printed membrane behind the buttons wears, and particular keys stop responding. It presents as an oven that will not accept a programme rather than one that is dead.
- Control board or interlock switch failed — Last. Both are genuine and both are inside the cabinet, which on this appliance means a technician regardless of how simple the part sounds.
The diagnostic order for this family
- Check the socket with something else, and check the breaker — Kitchen circuits trip readily and countertop sockets are often switched at the wall. Free and frequently the answer.
- Try the oven on a socket on a different circuit — Separates a supply problem from an appliance problem definitively and without tools.
- Close the door firmly and listen for the latch — A definite click means the interlocks are being operated. A dropped door may not operate them at all.
- Look for a lock or key indicator on the display — A child lock makes an oven refuse everything, and it is released by the sequence that set it.
- Check for a demonstration or shop mode message — A retail mode disables heating entirely and is cleared with a button sequence rather than a repair.
Isolate first
Safety
Before any panel comes off, take the power away at the plug or at the breaker. A capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off, which is why the order is isolate first and open second.

Where the owner line is
Call once the socket, the door and the lock settings are all eliminated. On this appliance there is no second stage for an owner: the cabinet contains a high-voltage capacitor that stays charged after unplugging, so an oven that is dead with a good supply and a latching door is a service item by definition.
