Admiral Stove turns off on its own

When your Admiral stove turns off by itself, start with the touchpad. Buttons that respond intermittently or not at all can indicate a faulty touchpad that needs replacement. On an electric Admiral stove, inspect the power cord and terminal block next. Loose or burnt connections can interrupt power, overheat the wiring, and melt the wire insulation. Replace damaged terminal blocks or power cords, and have a licensed electrician inspect a burned receptacle. If a surface element starts working again after you turn its dial off and back on or select another heat setting, the stove control board may be failing. Check the power cord and terminal block before replacing the control board. Next, inspect the wire connectors and harness, especially the connections from the main power cord, for loose terminals, breaks, or burn marks. Less commonly, a failed relay board can interrupt power to the heating elements or other stove components. A defective main control board, including loose or burned connections, can also shut the stove off. Disconnect power before inspecting electrical parts. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement touchpad, control board, relay board, wire connector, terminal block, or power cord for your Admiral stove.

02 - Admiral Range/Stove/Oven Power Cord

If the power cord connections in the terminal block on your electric range are not secure the wire can overheat, burning the connections on the terminal block, and melting the coating on the wires. Check to ensure the connections are tight and not burnt. If the terminal block connectors are burnt, the terminal block should be replaced. If the power cord terminal connectors are burnt or damaged, the power cord should be replaced. If the power cord prongs are burnt, a new power cord should be installed and the receptacle checked and replaced if necessary by a licenced electrician.

03 - Admiral Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

If the stove surface element starts working again when the surface element dial or control is turned off and back on or to a different heat setting, it's likely that the control board is the cause of the stove turning off on its own. You should confirm that the surface element control is functioning normally and the appliance's power cord and terminal block are in good condition before considering a control board replacement.

04 - Admiral Range/Stove/Oven Wire Connector

Inspect the wiring and connectors, especially coming from the main power cord. A loose connection can cause intermittent power failure. Inspect the wiring for breaks or burn marks. Repair wiring as needed.
Common

05 - Admiral Range/Stove/Oven Relay Board

Some ovens are equipped with a relay board. The relay board has several relays which control the electrical current to the heating element, and other components of the stove. If one or more of the relays on the relay board has failed, the oven may shut off. If the relay board is defective, replace it.

06 - Admiral 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.
