SMEG C7GPX8 – Oven wont switch on

[stevenb]

Hi
I have a SMEG C7GPX8 Oven that just unexpectedly just didn’t switch on one day. It is 2 and half years old – so out of warranty.

• I took the back off and the left hand thermostat (Ty60 – as viewed from back of oven) was blown/open. I replaced it but it still doesn’t switch on.
• The other remote thermostat is fine (ie now both remote thermostats have continuity i.e. closed). Now the lock function seems to operate whereas it didn’t before replacing it??
• I have checked and there is resistance/continuity across all the three oven elements.
• Door switch seems to make continuity when shut and no continuity when open.
• I have had this switched off and on many times.
• I have deleted the data in the clock (following the manual) a number of times. No A is flashing only it has a heat symbol above the dot in the time – is that supposed to be there?

Anyway the light doesn’t come on and none of the elements in the oven wont work. Any ideas?

Any thoughts from the experts?

Dont know without looking in manual but A in a lot of cookers stands for automatic and the unit has to be set for manual

Thanks Electrofix. The A isn’t flashing so its on Manual mode. We have had it for a wee while and it just starting acting oddly.

It’s faulty but just not sure what to fix. Whether it needs a new timer or board as I think everything else checks out as ok?
