Symptoms
- Display is completely blank
- Burners and oven still light fine using manual ignition
- No response from any control panel buttons
- Problem started after a power outage or breaker trip
Likely causes
- CommonTripped breaker or blown fuseThe range's electrical side runs off house power even though the burners run on gas.
- CommonUnplugged or loose power cordThe range may have been bumped or the cord not fully seated.
- PossibleFailed control boardThe electronic board that runs the clock and display can fail independently of the gas system.
- Less commonFaulty display panelThe display itself can fail while the rest of the board works.
What to do
- Check your home's breaker panel for a tripped breaker labeled for the range or kitchen, and reset it if found.
- If the range is plugged into an outlet, confirm the cord is fully seated and check the outlet with another device.
- Unplug the range (or switch off its breaker) for about a minute, then restore power to reset the control board.
- Watch for the display to come back on after power is restored; some models take a moment to boot up.
- If burners still light manually but the display stays dark after a reset, the control board or display itself has likely failed.
- Note whether any error codes flashed briefly, since that can help a technician diagnose faster.
