Hob Timer Fault

[Traveller47]

I have a NEFF ceramic hob (model T182, T183 or T184 – not sure) which features a simple countdown timer. You set an mumber of minutes and it counts down to zero before sounding a beeper. It does not control the hob in any way or switch anything on or off.
Recently, the timer touch pad became more difficult to use, ignoring a normal fingure touch. However, it would work when the hob was warm – eg when several hotplates were used or the oven beneath was in use for some time. Now, the timer touchpad is almost unresponsive. I guess that the touch pad is operated by a field-effect switch which operates a relay beneath the control panel.
Is it possible to replace the troublesome part?

you will only know which parts you can get by the Enr number underneath the hob

Once you get that we can look it up

Thanks for the reply. The information on the label under the hob is as follows:
Neff GmbH KAT1847
E-No. T1842NO/01 FD8107419647
Typ ETT737N

I hope all that means something!

Thanks for this information – I appreciate your trouble. Not sure how it got to be 19 years old – must have been in a warehouse somewhere for a long time because we bought it “new” much more recencly than that!

the year is the first 2 numbers of the FD number plus 20

so you stated 81 which is 81+20 =2001

unless you read it wrong
