RCA Stove turns off on its own

When your RCA stove turns off by itself, the most likely cause is a faulty touchpad, especially when buttons respond intermittently or not at all. On an electric range, inspect the power cord and terminal block next. Loose or burnt connections can interrupt power, overheat, or melt the wire insulation. If a surface element starts working again after turning its control off and back on or selecting another setting, the control board may be failing. Loose, damaged, or burned wire connectors can also cause intermittent power loss, so inspect the harness from the power cord for breaks and burn marks. Less common causes include a failed relay board, which controls power to heating components, or a defective main control board that supplies power throughout the stove. Disconnect power before inspecting internal parts, and have a licensed electrician replace a damaged receptacle or unsafe power connection. Enter your RCA model number to find the exact replacement touchpad, power cord, terminal block, control board, wire connector, relay board, or main control board for your range.

If a stove 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 - RCA 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 - RCA 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.

05 - RCA 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 - RCA 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.
