The display is no longer lighting up. Not sure what I've done, but is very dead and rebooting does not help.
You are right on regarding element shorting. The broiler element shorted during a preheat cycle a little over a month ago. That scared the wife near to death. I bought a replacement element and the oven continued to work well. I thought to myself="what a great machine, it was arc welding through circuits never intended to handle that kind of current but it still works great." A few weeks later, the F1 error popped up and spooked her as she was not cooking, just hanging out in the kitchen. She cleared it, and then watched the display dim out.
That began my research on fixing the display. While my first attempt at replacing caps looked successful, the display only lit up one more time before dimming out, to never light again.
I think it's over for this oven. I've always thought it worked well, but my wife is quite sick of it. If anyone on the board is looking for components please don't hesitate to PM me. At the least I think the white membrane switchboard is still good.
Thanks to all for the great help-
