Wall Oven: Why doesn't my wall oven work?

If your oven has a digital display and the control panel doesn't light up, reset the house circuit breaker for the wall oven if it's tripped. If the oven has power but the control is dead, you may need to replace the electronic control board.

In an oven that uses dial controls, a tripped house circuit breaker or a failed oven control thermostat can be the problem when you find the wall oven not working at all. Reset the house circuit breaker for the wall oven if it's tripped. If the oven has power, you may need to replace the oven control thermostat.

Replace the wall oven electronic oven control board

The electronic oven control (EOC) board governs the timing and execution of oven functions such as baking and broiling. It's usually in the control console and often has a digital clock on the front of its housing. Replace the electronic control board if it doesn't light up when it's supplied with electrical power, if it doesn't operate properly or doesn't properly send voltage to the bake or broil element (in an electric oven) or burner (in a gas oven).
