Had a problem with the main oven ignition unit continuously sparking – replaced the re-ignition unit and all seemed OK.
Got a recall next day saying it had started clicking again after 20 mins use. Revisited and changed the electrode assembly; the cable from the unit to the electrode was OK. Tested for over half an hour over a cuppa and all seemed OK.
10 days later got another recall saying the ignition in the main oven was clicking again – this time after approx 1 hours continuous use. The flame picture whilst heating up and when the stat has shut into bypass appears to be OK and the problem exists whether or not the fan is in use.
Anyone come across this problem before or any suggestions ???
Earth continuity is spot on, under 0.5 ohmsThanks

The burner’s not covered in grease by any chance causing the spark to “redirect” ?

Re: Cannon Cooker 10248G (Pearl Duo) – Oven ignition problem
Thanks for your reply Dave.
The burner is clean and the spark is jumping between the HT electrode and the earth electrode during the ignition process. Once the main oven burner is lit the sparking stops. It then starts clicking again after a while.
What is throwing me is that the ignition box is not picking up the flame rectification process after about an hours use. The burner is lit all of the time in use and as long as there is a flame present between the HT electrode and the earth electrode the ignition box should pick up the rectification properties of the flame.
Could be another faulty ignition unit but given that the new one fitted is “updated” I don’t know what the odds are about a faulty new component matching the original fault.
Once again thanks Dave
