Hi,
Does anyone know how to separate the front facia (glass/steel) from the metal back plate so you can replace the timer on the AEG oven with PNC 944 185 295? It looks like the timer is fitted throught the back plate from the front and then the facia is attached over the top. There doesn’t appear to be any catches or screws – in fact it looks like its glued… Can this be so?
Any help much appreciated – thanks

The timer unit is located with its own spring clips. Unhook the clips each side and pull away from the fascia. No need to remove the glass fascia as all done within the control panel from the rear.

Thanks for the reply Martin. I’ll have another look but it appeared the lip of the timer front is sat in-between the back plate and the facia as though you had to separate the two and pull the timer out of the front. I know the plastic spring clips you’re talking about but I couldn’t pull it out the back. I’ll have another look tomorrow…

Hi,
I’ve had another look and I just cant see how this timer is going to come out of the back of the mounting plate. The lip on the front of the timer face runs all the way round and stops it being pulled out through the back of the mounting plate. The whole is just not big enough to bring the timer and its lip out backwards. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

That being the case then you’ll need to remove the front trim and glass control panel for access.
Re: Replacing AEG PNC 944 185 295 oven timer
Thanks very much for responding Martin. Do you know how the trim comes off or what holds the glass facia to the metal back plate? I can’t see how it is held together – no screws or clips are visible. As I said in my first post it looks like it’s glued!

I have no clue unfortunately. All I do know from the 100’s of ovens I’ve fixed over the years is that a timer unit such as you have either (and more usually) comes out from inside the control panel area. Or you have to remove the entire trim around the whole oven front to enable the glass control panels removal.

Not easy to tell from those pics but it looks as though the timer is locked into place with barbs or lugs that need depressing from the rear to allow the unit to be pulled forward. Does the lip of the timer protrude in front of the glass or is it behind it?
Re: Replacing AEG PNC 944 185 295 oven timer
Thanks for all the comments so far. The lip sits behind the glass, in between the glass and back plate. I’ve attached a photo of the facia and a side shot where you might be able to see that the glass appears “stuck” onto the back plate. Still no idea how to separate them! I’ve got to be careful as I don’t want to crack the glass. May be the steel facia somehow “pops” off the glass to reveal something…?
Any more thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hi there – did you ever find a solution for this?
I have exactly the same problem. Can’t remove the timer because of the glass panel that appears glued to the front. Considering using a stanley knife to cut through the glue to release the front glass, but then what glue to use to fix it back on?
Surely someone at AEG should have thought of this?!
Anyway would be great to hear back any solutionsThanks

Hi
I have the same oven front as you with the push buttons. The timer is definitely replaced from the inside. If you haven’t already done so, remove the two side screws that fix the front fascia panel then slide off upwards. Lay panel on front so you can see timer. If you have a flat metal surround to the timer this is also fixed by two “star type” screws. Remove these and then you can lift/prize off the surround, but you will need to disconnect the wires first (remembering where they go). Then with a small flat screw driver unclip the timer and pull it out. Dont forget to unplug the oven first!

Thanks – I’ll have another look because I don’t remember seeing the ‘star’ screws. Will report back.
Re: Replacing AEG PNC 944 185 295 oven timer
I don’t remove the fascia when doing these I remove the circuit board from the new timer housing and clip it into the existing timer housing . As for the fascia they use a kind of gel like bonding strip which come’s supplied with a new fascia but i’m fairly certain can be obtained separately but you often find the fascia just dosen’t seem to stick back on properly and that’s why I try to avoid removing it at all costs!!
