    Hi

    I’ve looked around the forum and although there seems to be lots of issues with Diplomat Ovens, i can’t find my specific issue

    A while ago after the oven had been on for half an hour there was an almighty bang and on investigation it was the oven!! It blew all the fuses downstairs.

    Now only the Fan and turbo element setting works, no grill (which is a real pain) and none of the other oven settings. The light comes on, as does the fan but no heat. We’ve had an appliance engineer out who can find nothing wrong with it??

    Any ideas??? 💡

    Thanks for looking

    the bang would have been something blowing up (a short-circuit to earth) this would pop the trips.
    As the appliance “engineer” found “nothing wrong” there must be a voodoo spell stopping it working 😆

    I think you should use the “find an engineer” function on this page. or use the email function.

    It’s not necessarily the element itself , which is faulty, as often there are overheat-devices,timers, relays ,thermostats………. any of which can cause the element to not function….oh, and the wiring itself can get “tired” and short out.

    definitely not for someone who doesn’t understand these things !

    karv- I was trying to be diplomatic about the diagnostic abilities of the “engineer”

    Just to expand a little
    (and bearing in mind I am not familiar with this particular appliance)

    I base my theory on the probability that the “grill” element also acts as the upper element in the oven…if there’s a fault which has “blown” this circuit, it could still allow the fan and associated element to continue working.

    I suggested the “find an engineer” function on this site, because these guys obviously care about the job,know what they’re up to and are not out to “fleece the punters”

    Madeofcake. hope you are sorted now!
