Oven controller not functioning

found error code listing possable cause Range Oven Error Fault or Function Codes

BEFORE DOING ANYTHING DISCONNECT OVEN FROM POWER. I do NOT recommend doing repair by yourself, if you NOT are really very familiar with electric repair, or have at least basic training in electric device repair and maintenance.
"When door is opened display goes dark. When door shuts display lights all characters and then says "touch clock"."
Obviously, by opening door, oven gets disconnected form power line.
This is mostly caused by loose connections on wiring socket, and can be anywhere inside. Check security micro switch on door latch. This switch normally disables only running the oven when door is open, for security reasons. In your case, it seems that opening door disconnects oven from input power. Sometimes the switch is loose, or wires are not firmly pushed in the socket. If the power line wiring is loose, and by opening door looses contact with socket, it can touch metal housing inside, cause short, electric shock, serious even mortal injury and fire. This is dangerous high voltage switch, and to access it one must open oven from the back and take off the cover. I do not recommend doing it by your self.
Rem: Replacement micro switch is couple dollars.

The door switch may have become defective, cutting off power completely. When the oven restarts, it prompts you to set the clock just as it would if there had been a power interruption. It is possible that something has failed in the control logic and that probably will require attention from a repair technician.

Turn off the mains power. wait about thirty secs. turn back on, you should have either all 0's or 8's flashing. Looking at the clock buttons left to right. press the button fourth from left and the - or + to set the time (doesn't have to be the correct time, just not flashing 0 or 8's). Leave for second until the display is not flashing.You should be able to use the oven now. If not you may have a problem with the clock, this can happen if you have been using the top grill with the door open and the controls have gotten too hot. Neff ovens have no function where the door is left open during cooking or grilling.

This should help any further assistance please feel free to contact me.

This is a Door lock malfunction. you will need to replace the door lock mechanism. it is faulty.

Test the door lock mech for its operational value to be sure.if the door mech test is good, replace the control(ERC/Clock)

Try unplugging the oven from the electrical power. May release the lock, which is held in place by a tiny micro switch. If not and while the electric is still off or the oven is unplugged, use a bright light flashlight to look through the slot where the lock is in the oven, not in the door.

You may be able to use a thin blade screwdriver to move the lock to the release position. Check the angle of the lever. A slightly bent lever handle also can cause this type of condition.

If all else fails, remove the access panel on the front of the oven to access the locking device and release it. May have to disconnect the wires to the lock which will allow door to function but not during any self cleaning modes.
