KitchenAid Oven shuts off on its own

If your KitchenAid oven turns off by itself, shuts off while baking, or keeps turning off during use, the touchpad is the most likely cause, especially if some buttons respond intermittently or not at all. A faulty touchpad can send incorrect commands and stop the oven unexpectedly. Next, check the thermal fuse. If the oven overheats, this fuse trips to cut power; test it with a multimeter for continuity, and replace it if it has blown because a thermal fuse cannot be reset. A defective touchpad and control panel can also cause an oven not turning on or shutting down when only certain buttons work. Before replacing parts, check for an incoming power problem, including a tripped circuit breaker. If the connections are loose or burned, or a relay is failing, the KitchenAid control board or main control board may be shutting the oven down. Disconnect power before testing or replacing electrical parts. Enter your model number to find the exact touchpad, thermal fuse, control panel, control board, or main control board for your KitchenAid range, stove, or oven.

01 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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.

06 - KitchenAid 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.
