Re: CDA rc9620 hob dead?

on further investigation, its not a spill, its oven cleaner that we used before Xmas that has somehow seeped out in a few places. That stuff you ladle into the oven and then let it get on with it, we’ll not be using that again!

Luckily it didn’t die whilst the Xmas dinner was being cooked for the family, even more lucky I guess is it didn’t start a fire and kill us all.

here’s how it looks;

Re: CDA rc9620 hob dead?

Right, I’ve pulled her apart to look for the obvious signs of failed parts, everything is fine until the terminal block where the main feed it split off to other parts of the oven.
The terminal block is corroded where the hob gets power so it’s no longer making contact that explains the lack of power.
There’s a small run of dried liquid under it, so I’m guessing there was a spill that’s shorted it out.
Now to find a replacement block 😉
