Electrolux Oven Display Is Not Working — How To Fix
Below, we have listed the possible reasons you Electrolux oven display won’t work and how to fix them.
1. Thermal Fuse
Before you look at any components we list here, make sure to reset your oven by switching the circuit breaker off for 5 minutes. If the display of your Electrolux oven is not working after resetting it, follow the steps below to test and replace the thermal fuse in an Electrolux oven…
Step 1: Pull the oven away from the wall and unplug the power cord.
Step 2: Take out the screws holding the oven’s lower back panel in place using a quarter inch nut driver.
Step 3: Set the panel aside.
Step 4: Disconnect the wires from the terminals of the thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is usually close to the terminals of the bake or broil element.
Step 5: Get a multimeter and turn the dial to the ohms setting.
Step 6: Touch the multimeter probes to the terminals of the thermal fuse. If there is no continuity, the thermal fuse is faulty and should be replaced.
Step 7: Take out the screw or screws which hold the thermal fuse in place.
Step 8: Get a new thermal fuse.
Step 9: Screw the new thermal fuse to the oven and reconnect the wires to the terminals.
Step 10: Return the oven’s back panel and the screws which secure it.
Step 11: Plug the oven back into place.
Also follow the steps above to replace your thermal fuse if your Electrolux oven is not working after self cleaning.
2. Burnt Wires
If the thermal fuse isn’t faulty, some of the wires connected to the control board may be burnt. Remove the oven’s back panels. Inspect all the wires connected to the control board. If the wires are burnt in any way, contact a technician to fix them. If the wires aren’t burnt, keep reading.
3. Control Board
If the thermal fuse isn’t faulty and none of the wires connected to the control board is burnt, the board itself is probably faulty. Before you replace the control board, make sure to test the thermal fuse and inspect the wires. If none of them is faulty, read this article: Electrolux Oven Not Heating & Related Issues [Solutions] to replace the control board in an Electrolux oven.
Electrolux Oven Is Not Working After Power Cut — How To Fix
If your Electrolux oven is not working after a power cut, follow the steps listed below…

Electrolux Electric Oven Is Not Working — How To Fix
Below we have listed the possible reasons your electric Electrolux oven is not working and what to do about them.
1. Bake Element
The first and most likely reason an electric Electrolux oven won’t work is because of a faulty bake element. Below, we show how to test and replace this component…
Step 1: Unplug the oven’s power cord for safety.
Step 2: Open the oven’s door.
Step 3: Remove all the oven racks.
Step 4: Get a quarter inch nut driver.
Step 5: Use the quarter inch nut driver to remove the screws on the oven’s back wall which secure the bake element. There are two screws.
Step 6: Pull the element forward and disconnect the wires. Make sure the wires don’t fall through the holes in the oven’s rear.
Step 7: Test the bake element for continuity with a multimeter. If the multimeter’s display doesn’t change, the bake element has no continuity. If the element has no continuity, it is faulty and should be replaced.
Step 8: Get a new element and connect the wires to the terminals.
Step 9: Hold the element to the oven with the two quarter inch screws.
Step 10: Return the racks to the oven.
Step 11: Shut the door.
Step 12: Plug the oven back in.
Also follow the steps above if your Electrolux oven is not working but the grill is.
The video below walks you through the process of replace the bake element in an Electrolux oven.
2. Loose Or Burnt Wire
If your Electrolux oven’s bake element isn’t faulty, the next thing you should check for is loose or damaged wires. Inspect the wires going to the oven’s bake element. If the wires aren’t properly connected, reconnect them. If the wires appear to be damaged in any way, contact a technician to fix them.
3. Thermal Fuse
If your Electrolux oven is not working and the display is completely blank, the thermal fuse may be faulty. To determine if this is the case, you will need to test the thermal fuse with a multimeter. Read the article “Electrolux Oven Display Is Not Working” in the section above to test and replace your thermal fuse.
4. Control Board
If you have tested all the above components and none is faulty, the control board is probably the reason your Electrolux oven is not working. The control board sends voltage to the bake element to work. So, if the control board fails, the bake element won’t receive the voltage it needs to heat. Read how to replace your Electrolux oven control board in the “Electrolux Oven Display Is Not Working” section above.

Step 28: Turn the oven’s gas supply back on.
Watch the video below for a visual of how to replace the safety valve in an Electrolux oven.
3. Loose Or Burnt Wires
If neither the safety valve or the igniter is faulty, the next thing you should check is the wire connections. Inspect all the wires connected to the igniter, safety valve, and control board. If any of the wires is loose, reconnect them. If the wires appear to be damaged in any way, contact a technician to fix them. If your gas Electrolux oven is not working after this, keep reading.
4. Control Board
If you have checked everything above and none of them is faulty, the control board may be the cause of the problem. If the control board fails, the igniter won’t receive the voltage it needs to operate. Read the “Electrolux Oven Display Not Working” section above to replace the control board in your oven. If your Electrolux oven is not working after this, contact a technician. There may be a power problem.
