    Hi all, I have a Candy Double Oven model number TC21and separate hob, but recently sometimes there is no power to the timer and therefore no main oven, the strange thing is that the smaller top oven and grill still works and so does the hob.
    Sometimes turning the power on and off at the wall brings back to life sometimes that doesn’t work so you just seem to have to wait and keep trying then miracously it will suddenly light up on the digital timer and hey presto all is working again, until next time it turns itself off.Any ideas please on what the fault is and how to fix it, it’s driving us mad, especially with children to feed when its meal times, the little buggers have no patience..
    Thanks in advance

    It can only be either a faulty oven timer OR the connections to it are dodgy.

    Thanks Martin, great advice, guess I will end up needing a new oven timer as it has only been happening every now and again over the last 12 months as I can’t think of a reason why the connections would become dodgy..
    Is the timer an easy thing to replace?
    Cheers fella.
    Thanks

    Wherever you have connections to high current consuming devices the terminal connectors can become loose, overheat and burn. Leading to the effect that sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t.

    It’s fairly straightforward.
