Beep! I was cooking today

6. Marthe48, this could have been a one-time event.

Control circuit errors can be caused by power line transients or brown-outs, so you need to insure this error repeats before undertaking repairs. You might even have a faulty connection in the power feed to the range.

Questions:
Does the range seem to be working OK now?
Have you noticed any irregularities with your power service such as digital clocks that reset or lighting that blinks?
When the range sat unused for 18 months, did it have electrical power applied?

If you do wind up taking the control panel apart, I would suggest checking all the connectors between assemblies in case one has vibrated loose (with power off for safety, of course). You might also want to carefully inspect the circuit boards for bad solder joints.

Should you decide to replace a circuit board or sub-assembly, be extremely careful when ordering because manufacturers make many revisions to circuits during the life cycle of products.

Good luck!
