Error Code C-21
Oven overheating – oven temperature rose too high
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
What This Means
Defective oven temperature sensor giving incorrect reading; Stuck-closed broil, bake, or convection heater relay on PCB; Damaged PCB relay or PCB pattern; Damaged wire harness connected to main PCB; DLB (Dual Line Break) relay failure
How to Fix
- 1
Disconnect power to the range
- 2
Check DLB relay at TB201 pins 1,2 and 3,4; normal resistance is infinity (open)
- 3
Check Broil relay at TB206 pins 1,2 and 3,4; normal resistance is infinity (open)
- 4
Check Bake relay at TB205 pins 1,2 and TB206 pins 3,4; normal resistance is infinity (open)
- 5
Measure broil/bake heater resistance; expect 30 to 800 ohms
- 6
Verify CNS300 connector and harness to oven sensor are properly connected and undamaged
- 7
Measure oven sensor resistance; expect 1080 ohms at room temperature
- 8
If relays are faulty or PCB has cracked traces replace main PCB
- 9
If sensor or harness is faulty replace or repair
