When the MER8800FZ misbehaves, the pattern is nearly always the same: check whether the fault is on the cooktop side or the oven side first, then the bake element, oven sensor or door latch. A photograph of the plate saves a second visit more often than any other piece of information.
noting when the fault appears and keeping the door seal clean is the sensible limit for an owner here; work carried out by somebody who is not an authorized technician can affect what the warranty still covers.
