that switch should be this one
082558101 Oven Function Selector Switch (ukwhitegoods.co.uk)

but double check with the shop

Thanks Dave. Yes, on inspection of the part, I can see a number on it “42.840.00” which matches the one in the link you provided above. I have bought that part now from the site and will hope for the best. **UPDATE – the part wasn’t in stock despite the site say ing it was so has been cancelled. I am looking elsewhere for the same**

The oven pretty much immediately went back to how it was – loose turning of the dial. I suspect it has popped out again so replacing the unit will help that part at least.

In terms of the lack of heat, do you think the switch replacement will fix that too? I am just worried about time and hoping that it isn’t potentially something else (such as that silver unit that is connected to the switch) that might add delay.

Thanks again

Thanks again both. I have bought the part and hopefully it will be here soon.

Is this likely to be the reason no heat was coming through (or the red light on the front)? The brief period where I got it working by “popping” the brown structure back within the black holding bracket did allow power / fan on and internal lamp but no heat.

Now though I guess it has popped out again as we are back to square one – nothing happening.

well there must be something wrong with it or the oven would not have started working again

Hi Dave – just to clarify what I was saying – once the switch is replaced, is it fair to expect the heat to work again?

As a reminder, when I got it temporarily working, the oven fan and light worked but there was no heat, which is why I mistakenly assumed it was resolved.

Does that switch control the heat as well as the oven off on function? The dial itself is a temperature dial so I am hoping it will otherwise it may need more components replacing.

Thanks

the switch does turn off the element too so its possible

Hi Dave

Good news. All now sorted after replacing that switch unit. I now have heat.

I had some issues with it when fitting – I noted that turning the dial didn’t result in the screw being turned on the silver thermo box attached to the switch. It just span around. I’m not certain what I did to fix it but think it was due to manually winding the thermo box to the opposite lock – assumption is that it was stuck fully open. Either way, whatever it was had the desired end result.

Some images of the broken brown original switch attached as well as a short video showing the “spinning” thermo box which might be useful for others who look at this forum.

Thanks again
