Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I determine if the power supply is fluctuating?
Use a multimeter to monitor the voltage at the power supply terminals on the control board. The voltage should be stable and within the specified range (typically 5V DC or 12V DC). Fluctuations of more than +/- 5% indicate a potential power supply issue.
•Where can I find the service manual for my Hotpoint oven model?
Service manuals can often be found online through appliance parts retailers or technical documentation websites. You will need the exact model number of your oven to locate the correct manual.
•What is the best way to clean the ribbon cable contacts?
Use a lint-free cloth or cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher). Gently wipe the contacts to remove any dirt or corrosion. Allow the alcohol to evaporate completely before reconnecting the cable.
