| Mar 23, 2023 at 13:07 | comment | added | Hot Licks | I would guess that something caused the two boards to touch each other, causing a short. Another possibility, though less likely, is that some sort or metal fragment fell between the boards. | |

| Mar 23, 2023 at 12:35 | comment | added | FreeMan | Consider the age of the oven and the cost of a replacement board (or two!) vs the cost of a new oven. It may be more cost effective to simply get a new stove at this point unless you're really attached to this particular model. Then again, it may be far cheaper to just replace boards. Either way, it's something to think about before breaking out the credit card. | |

Tell them this might be a latent problem with their product and you're willing to help them avoid recurrences elsewhere, all they have to do is help you figure out what happened. | |

It is the responsibility of the device manufacturer to incorporate any needed fuses or breakers or other protective means into the device, if such are needed. | |
