Re: Load bang and sparks from cooker
Hmm, might have been funny if he’d fried himself but he was actually run over by a joyrider
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….
Re: Load bang and sparks from cooker
Right, I’ve got the back, sides and top off. No sign of a trigger board anywhere.
Where do I find it?
Re: Load bang and sparks from cooker
Thermostat is working fine. When the ovens on, the Led lights up uptil temp is reached and then goes off, as it should.
Oven also gets no hotter (within the range you would expect) as 20 mins after it got up to heat I turned it up and the light came on immediately.
Why would the stat affect the element fan and the interior light?
Re: Load bang and sparks from cooker
No, but I can’t think of what else could be causing the problem.
Anyway, the only way of checking I have is swapping out!

Full model number is C361EK
Not offended by power comment, just wanted to assure you that I know what I ‘m doing.
(Mind you, I did almost cut my fingers off trying to straigten the blade in a plugged in jigsaw last week……)
Re: Load bang and sparks from cooker
Right, we’re talking one of these?
In that case not a problem, aside for it’s location. I don’t want to dismantle the whole thing only to find out I just had to remove two screws!Re: Load bang and sparks from cooker
Yep, though that some sort of electrinics would be the problem.
Next question, is it easy to locate in the cooker and how much roughly will it cost to buy one?
I’ll check prices myself but I’m not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} on what I’m looking for.
(I know all about turning power off, my brother used to be an electrical engineer before he died)
