Had a late call booked this afternoon for this appliance with a fault report of no heat in the main oven.
Mm , Simple straight forward circa fan oven element me thinks ! Anyway arrive and check the element and sure enough it is blown. Large hole near mounting bracket and looked pretty bad.
Replaced element and switched on and no heat output, checked main oven thermostat in case it had also been blown and that was ok. Cutting a long story short I checked everything in the appliance and I can see no tell tale blow marks anywhere but can get no live to the element which is supplied by the main oven switch. There are loads of wires linked from here to there in this cooker along with various other cutout stats all of which checked out.
After an hour I gave up and wanted to look at the wiring chart for this, when I got home tonight I had a quick look at the wiring diagram but can see no reason based on my earlier exploration why I have no supply to the element.
There is a door switch on this cooker which is pretty much standard across the Creda range which shuts of the main fan and element when the door is opened.
Bearing this in mind this particular switch has only two wires on it although it has three spade contact terminals.
Now when the main door is open this switch is closed ? when the door is shut this switch is open ?
The other terminal on the switch is not used but it seems odd how this switch works as I would have thought it should have worked the other way round i.e that when the door is shut the switch should be closed.
The customer has not messed around with this but I dont know what to do next,
Any pointers ?

Panic Over !
Went back out to this today with the wiring chart and it turned out to be a faulty stat which is located in a obscure position, it was only by looking at the wiring chart that I realised there was a stat which I had not seen, turned out that when this element went bang it took the stat with it.
