Common Symptom
1D21
Upper Broil DLBs Open
High
Starting a broil cycle results in a cold cavity — the broil element never glows red because neither of its redundant supply paths is working.
View
0021
Bake Relay Shorted
High
After Cancel is pressed or a cook cycle completes, the bake element visibly stays red because the relay contacts have not released.
View
0422
Lower Left Conv Relay Short
High
On double-oven M Series models, the lower cavity convection element continues to glow after the cook cycle has been stopped.
View
0821
Upper MDL Relay Short
High
The MDL relay switches auxiliary loads including the cooling fan, and a welded MDL leaves the fan running whenever the breaker is on — even with the oven powered off.
View
0822
Lower MDL Relay Short
High
The lower cooling fan stays on whenever the oven breaker is energized, even with the oven powered off at the control panel.

1021
Upper Bake Relay Open
Medium
A bake cycle starts on the display but the cavity stays cold because the bake element never receives power through the failed relay.
View
1121
Upper Right Conv Relay Open
Medium
With one of the convection elements not firing, airflow-baked food shows browning patterns uneven across the cavity — typically darker on one side than the other.
View
1122
Lower Right Conv Relay Open
Medium
With one convection element not firing on the lower cavity, baked goods brown more on one side than the other — a visible sign even on a single cake or tray of cookies.

Element MDL Watchdog
High
A cooking cycle starts normally but is cancelled partway through when the watchdog fires and drops the load drives.
View
5121
Upper Cavity Over-Temp
High
A bake, broil, or convection program cancels abruptly mid-cycle when the cavity temperature sensor reports a reading above the safe operating limit.

Relay Board Over-Temp
High
Long cooking sessions — roasts, baked dishes, holiday meals — are the most common trigger because extended cook time lets heat accumulate in the relay board area.
View
F1
Door Lock Malfunction
High
The oven begins a clean cycle, attempts to drive the door lock, and cancels within 60 seconds without producing any heat.
