Oven shuts off on its own

When an oven turns off by itself, the most likely cause is a failing touchpad, especially if some buttons respond intermittently or stop working. Replacing the range, stove, or oven touchpad may solve the problem. A blown thermal fuse is another possibility if the oven overheated. Test the thermal fuse for continuity with a multimeter, and replace it if it has no continuity because it cannot be reset. If some buttons work while others do not, the touchpad and control panel may be defective. When no buttons respond, a faulty control board is more likely. Also check for an incoming power problem, such as a tripped circuit breaker, before replacing parts. Less commonly, loose or burnt connections, a failed relay, or another internal fault can cause the oven control board or main control board to shut down unexpectedly. These repairs involve electrical components, so disconnect power before testing or servicing your oven. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement touchpad, thermal fuse, control panel, control board, or main control board for your specific range, stove, or oven.

01 - Range/Stove/Oven Touchpad

If the oven turns off on its own, determine if some of the buttons on the touchpad respond intermittently or not at all. If so, it's likely the touchpad is faulty and should be replaced.

02 - Range/Stove/Oven Thermal Fuse

If the oven gets too hot, the thermal fuse trips to shut off power to the oven. If the thermal fuse has blown, the oven will not heat. However, this is not a common occurrence. To determine if the thermal fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If the thermal fuse does not have continuity, replace it. The thermal fuse cannot be reset—if the fuse has blown, it must be replaced.

03 - Range/Stove/Oven Touchpad and Control Panel

If an oven won't turn on, it's possible the touchpad and control panel is defective. One way to help confirm this is to determine if some touchpad buttons respond while others don't. If some of the buttons still work, then it's quite probable the touchpad and control panel is faulty and requires replacement (if none of the buttons work, a defective control board is more likely the cause of the oven not turning on).

04 - Incoming Power Problem

If an oven turns off on its own there could be an incoming power problem. Verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.
Common

05 - Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

The board sends power to all the components in the stove. If the control board connections are loose, or burnt, or the control board is turning off on its own, one of the relays or other components may be bad and the control will need to be replaced.
Less Common

06 - Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board

The main control board sends power to all the components in the stove. If the control board connections are loose, or burnt, or the control board is turning off on its own, one of the relays or other components may be bad and the control will need to be replaced.
