Tappan Stove turns off on its own

When your Tappan stove turns off by itself, the touchpad is the most likely cause, especially when some buttons respond intermittently or not at all. A faulty Tappan stove touchpad can interrupt operation and should be replaced. Next, inspect the power cord and terminal block for loose, overheated, or burnt connections. Damaged terminal block connectors, power cord terminals, or receptacle connections can cause an electric stove to turn off by itself and may require replacement or inspection by a licensed electrician. If a surface element starts working again after you turn its control off and back on or select another heat setting, the control board may be failing. Loose or damaged wire connectors, particularly near the main power cord, can also cause intermittent power loss. Less common causes include a failed relay board, which controls power to heating components, or a defective main control board with damaged connections or failing relays. Before testing or replacing parts, disconnect electrical power and check for burned wiring. Enter your Tappan stove model number to find the exact replacement touchpad, power cord, terminal block, control board, wire connector, relay board, or main control board for your appliance.

02 - Tappan 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 - Tappan 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 - Tappan 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.

05 - Tappan 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.
Less Common

06 - Tappan 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.
