Hotpoint SH33W clock working, but fan, grill, oven element not working.

Hi, my tenant has left the oven Hotpoint SH35W on and missed the buzzer. Subsequently it now no longer starts up. Clock has been reset, switched on and off and still nothing. Any ideas, the fact fan is not running but clock on assume the element is fine? The oven is old.

the fact the tennant missed a buzzer is not going to cause the cooker to fail

could be various things including the clock

could you check that model as i cant find it

Thanks Dave definitely Forno SH 33 W. Agreed it should not have caused any issue. I wonder if he had it on a very high heat ?

ah model in title and text different

first check is the thermal cutout

look like on this model the clock can stay on if it trips

Thanks Dave. I have changed the thermostat safety thingy. Interestingly the fan in the roof of oven now stays on even when oven is off. Lights and main fan come on when you click the switch to first click, the light and drop symbol. But still no heating of elements and main fan goes off when you click beyond that.

sounds like you have put the cutout stat in the place of the cooling fan stat

swop it back and look for the correct one

Hi swooped it back and still issue. When I leave the cooling fan stat un connected ie open circuit. The same issue occurs clock only works. Would this therefore suggest the cool fan stat is blown not the cutout stat? Or could I have damaged the cutout stat by plugging it in where the fan stat goes?

[electrofix]

as far as i can see on the wiring diagram i have found
if the overheat cutout goes then the clock stops working too

with that in mind i would have a careful look at the selector switch behind the control knob
look for burnt and faulty contacts

Thanks Dave, checked the switch all looks fine. When I check the cooling fan stat with an amp metre on ohms setting, it registers no connectivity at all. Could this indicate the fan stat is blown, or are they designed only to connect and therefore spin the fan when a certain current is put through?

the fan stat reacts to heat. when oven is hot it turns on the fan
