Stuck relay on control board
Shorted temperature sensor
Faulty oven thermostat
Welded contacts in relay
Control board failure
The relay controlling the bake element fuses shut from electrical arcing. Sacramento summer thunderstorms produce power surges that spike through the oven circuit. SMUD grid switching during peak demand can also cause transient voltage spikes sufficient to weld contacts.
Cost: $200–$400 | Time: 60-90 minutes
When the sensor wire shorts to ground or its sheath, it sends a continuous "cold" signal to the board. The control board responds by keeping the element energized indefinitely. Sacramento heat cycling causes insulation breakdown on older sensor wiring.
Cost: $100–$200 | Time: 30-60 minutes
Older ovens with mechanical thermostats can have contacts that weld from prolonged high-heat cooking. Extended Sacramento summer barbecue prep sessions that keep ovens at maximum for hours overheat the thermostat contacts until they fuse permanently closed.
Cost: $140–$290 | Time: 45-75 minutes
A catastrophic board failure after a lightning strike or major surge can energize multiple elements simultaneously. Both bake and broil may be on. This is the most dangerous scenario and requires immediate power disconnection at the breaker.
Cost: $240–$450 | Time: 60-90 minutes

Bosch wall oven in our Berkeley home would not heat past 300°F. EasyBear tech replaced the bake element and tested it to 500°F. He also noticed a worn door seal and replaced it on the spot.
Samsung convection oven displayed an E-08 error and shut down during Thanksgiving prep in Elk Grove. EasyBear dispatched a tech within 90 minutes who replaced the convection fan motor. Saved our holiday dinner.
