Problem with Belling oven - not heating - help sought

[geedee]

The Subject: Belling Optima 590 (aka XOU590) built-in electric dual oven.

The symptoms: Both ovens stopped working last night - no heat. BUT - the dual grill in the top smaller oven continues to work. The lights on the oven control panel do not light up and the oven fan does not come on.

So Far: I have pulled out the oven and removed a small plate at the back. This exposes the electric distribution bits. Also visible is a small circuit board (purpose unknown). It looks OK - nothing obviously fried. The board says it is a PEKTRON 1997 and has an OMRON CONTACT mounted on it. Also a large resistor (??) R3. Looking into the ovens I can see the thermostats (but not the heating elements!!). I have no idea where they are - sides? bottom?

Given all of the above I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to proceed. Likely causes? I have reasonable competence with electrics.

Thank you

GD.

Um, it's not something simple like the ovens not working because the clock needs resetting? Our fan oven won't turn on after a power cut until the clock has been reset. The grill isn't affected because it can't be timer operated.

That has happend twice to me.

UPDATE: Local experts suggest the cooker is in AUTO mode and hence ovens don't operate. Makes sense. BUT when I power on the cooker now the timer blinks at 00:00 and the AUTO light also blinks. The manual tells me I must first set the TOD clock. But I can't! Pressing the buttons has no effect. So some part of the timer/electronic controls is shot? Which part? and where might it be located?

On mine you have to press and hold two different buttons before the clock setting buttons work. (2nd & 3rd buttons from left IIRC). Your's might be similar.

On my Electrolux I can only set the clock if the power has been turned off for a sew seconds.

Solution:

Timer was shot. Repalced it and both ovens back working again.

Just might be of help to a passer-by :)

Well done, the large oven was working but our favourite wasn't. Timer was flashing so reset it and problem solved. Good job from Australia!

There is a certain irony there, a lot of the news servers listed on that page have long since died, and the links are dead.

You do get this whole wiki concept?

Feel free to fix problems as you find them!

Maybe we need a specific h*mo nerds hub page. Maybe I'll start one later.

In this particular case the OP did not appear to be a home owners hub user...
