Kelvinator Oven shuts off on its own

When your Kelvinator oven turns off by itself, start by checking the touchpad. Buttons that respond intermittently or not at all usually point to a faulty touchpad that needs replacement. A thermal fuse is another possible cause, especially if the oven overheated. If the fuse has no continuity when tested with a multimeter, replace it because a blown thermal fuse cannot be reset. The touchpad and control panel can also cause an oven that keeps turning off, particularly when some buttons work and others do not. If none of the buttons respond, the control board is more likely at fault. Next, check for an incoming power problem, including a tripped circuit breaker. Loose or burned connections, a failed relay, or an internal fault can make the Kelvinator control board or main control board shut down during use. These problems can cause the oven to shut off while baking or leave you asking, "Why does my oven keep turning off?" Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Kelvinator range, stove, or oven.

01 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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.
