SYMPTOM

Self-Clean Function Locked Out for 24 Hours (Blinking Lights)

Appliance: Thermador Dual Fuel Range Models: PRD304GHU, PRD364GDHU, PRD366GHU, PRD486GDHU, PRD364NLHU, PRD486NLHU, PRD484NCHU, PRD305PH, PRD364JDGU, PRD366JGU, PRD486JDGU

⚠ What This Means

The self-clean function has been restricted for 24 hours. When the user attempts to start self-clean, the oven lights blink on and off in 2-second intervals to indicate the function is not available. This occurs after the self-clean cycle has been canceled twice within a single session. All other oven modes remain fully functional.

🔧 How to Fix

  1. Turn both oven knobs (Mode Selector and Temperature Selector) to OFF to stop the blinking lights.
  2. Wait 24 hours from the last cancellation — the self-clean lockout will automatically clear.
  3. After 24 hours, the self-clean function can be used again normally.
  4. All other cooking modes (Bake, Convection Bake, Broil, etc.) remain available during the lockout period.
