Was cooking something in oven last night that caused a lot of steam to come out of vent. It seems to have shorted out the clock and now there is nothing on the display. Without the display I cannot use the oven (although stove top works just fine). Is this a matter of just changing the fuse?

Our SamSung oven has steam coming out the vents when we cook certain things.
I think the repair guy is correct.

Check the controls. Your board must be defective.

see the information attached and test the main component for SHORT. God bless you

I always recommend that you use the vent fan whenever you're cooking on the stove top to keep heat, steam, and grease out of the controls and door panels.

If it does not dry out over time, it may need to be manually dried or blown out.

The keypad may be damaged or worn out, or control unit may be damaged.

Keypad failure can cause it to come on by itself, which can lead to a fire.

Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your full model number from the tag on the unit) for more information & help.

The same thing happened to ours last night. We went to add another minute of cooking time and realized the oven was dead - no clock, no display of any kind, and no more cooking!

I've verified the power outlet is OK. Ideas???

We have the same problem with our lmvh1750st lg brand, there is 5 settings and alot of noise and airflow out the top. Very little from the bottom actually seems to go into the vent. We are very disatisfied with this and find during normal cooking we have very little help from the vent hood.

So far so good we unplugged the machine took the filters off the bottom let everything dry out over night and it seems to be working I'll update you tomorrow. I think the steam got the control pannel wet.

That's usually form shorted or shorting keypads.

What to look out for is is you get an F3 error on your keypad (assuming you have a GE - the code is different on other brands).

Direct spraying of cleaners on the keypad and steam from the cooktop can damage the controls or short the keypad.

I always recommend that you spray non-ammonia cleaner on a soft cloth (not a paper towel which can scratch) and gently wipe the keypad.

And I always recommend that you use the vent fan when cooking on the stove top to keep heat, steam, and grease out of the controls.

Or just to be safe, you can just leave the oven's door open at night or actually any time you're not using the oven..

There is a overtemperature device inside that is shuting you down until things cool off. Take the cover off and clean up everything as much as possible. Grease from the cooking can get all over everything inside and collect dust buildup enough to obstruct the airflow and cause overheting.

I am pretty sure this is just the steam escaping. Smeg ovens seal so evenly that the steam stays in the oven.
