When your Hardwick oven turns off by itself, the touchpad is the most likely cause, especially if some buttons respond intermittently or stop working. A faulty touchpad can interrupt oven operation and may need replacement. A blown thermal fuse is another possible cause. The fuse can trip if the oven gets too hot, but it is less common and cannot be reset. Test it with a multimeter for continuity, and replace it if it has failed. If some touchpad buttons work while others do not, the touchpad and control panel may be defective. If no buttons respond, a control board problem is more likely. Also check for an incoming power problem, such as a tripped circuit breaker. Less commonly, loose or burned connections, a failed relay, or another internal fault can cause the Hardwick control board or main control board to shut down. Before testing or replacing parts, disconnect power to the range. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Hardwick range, stove, or oven and confirm it fits your appliance.
01 - Hardwick 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.

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

05 - Hardwick 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.
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.
