Load bang and sparks from cooker

Re: Load bang and sparks from cooker

The solution

It appears the interior bulb blew, causing a surge which welded a switch on the control nob together.

I’ve managed to break the weld and everything is now functioning as it should (aside from no bulb in interior light!)

I’ve got in touch with the spares dept who have kindly agreed to let me return the trigger board 😀

Obviously as the switch is now pitted and bent(!) it’s not going to last indefinately so at some point I shall be ordering a replacement, but I’m not going to fit it until the bulb is replaced incase there is some other reason for this to have happened.

In my extensive strip down of the cooker this afternoon I discovered that

1) there is no trigger board on this cooker so either mine is mislabeled or Creda are giving out duff information (I found the same trigger board for my cooker as the spares dept sent on a completely separate site)

2) there was no sign of any other electrical fault (no scorching, melted wires etc.)

3) Creda hid spare screws on their cookers because despite stripping the damn thing down again especially to find where they go I’ve still got two of the buggers left over. Remainds me of when I used to strip bike engines. I always had two nuts, a bolt and three washers left over then….

(I know all about turning power off, my brother used to be an electrical engineer before he died)

Am I the only one who saw the funny side of this 😆 😆

Hmm, might have been funny if he’d fried himself but he was actually run over by a joyrider

Crusty…that’s bad news. “joyrider” is an oxymoron which there’s a good reason for the thought police banning.

As your family has found, there’s nothing joyful about thieving scumbags depriving people of their hard-earned transport.

I’ve heard of the perps. being forced to face their victims, explain their actions and hear how their behaviour has hurt others’ lives. Apparently the reduction in offending is quite dramatic……but the human rights PC crowd feel it’s too traumatic for the poor darlings who are scarred by a “bad” upbringing.

I’d be happy to scar the bas****s with a bloody good birching.

No worries (and I did see the funny side!)
