    Re: Homark Oven User Manual

    correction

    off
    light
    fan oven
    grill 1
    grill 2

    my element is gone again on the fan oven
    i disconnected the element and checked the terminals for 250V with the setting shown as fan oven…there is power there
    hence my correction

    now to get another..no3 in 5 years..element

    its a puzzlement

    😯 šŸ˜€

    Re: Homark Oven User Manual

    hi folks
    my mrs is having some trouble with the settings as well…and we are now confused even after using the damn thing for nearly 5 1/2 years
    its got to go!!

    here is a pic of our control and we assume going counter clockwise its
    off…light…fan only ??!!…oven…oven/grill?

    the above is wrong…see next post

    funny thing is the fan runs on all settings so the grill heat gets blasted all over the place…glad we have a toaster

    will do a test tomorrow when it cools down…we just burnt a cake by setting on oven/grill by mistake hence the post here today


    cheers šŸ˜€

    Re: overheating fan oven

    thanks again
    i can see 2 screws on each flange down the front screwed into the kitchen unit.
    when i remove these i suspect the casing will pull out
    didnt think i would need to go to all that extent
    but it may help me to learn some more new skills
    cheers
    we are having christmas today because of family commitments on christmas and boxing day elsewhere
    so the turkey crown is in the oven now
    will tackle this later
    god bless and happy christmas…the real one
    cheers

    thanks Penguin45
    when it is daylight i am going to remove the back shield and look at the element and surrounding area for any problems there
    i think although the stat indicator light is going off as the temperature rises the actual temperatures could be not quite as the settings say

    cant really see how to get the front panel off..there are two little humps on the top but no screws underneath …so i guess its ‘clipped’ on with the two humps as locating points??

    can you comment on that

    Yes, it is almost certainly no longer available I’m afraid. šŸ™

    A replacement is probably the cheapest and easiest option.

    K.

    thanks kwatt

    yes i am trying to get a replacement front panel with switch operating sliders
    the main switching is behind the panel and the panel just clips out

    there seems to be a current model by caple which is either identical or in fact the same model on the website i mentioned in post no 2 so hopefully i can get this part

    cheers

    bottom line…excellent help and advice on this forum…

    thanks to kevin, gegsy, and the boss..dave
    first class service from the shop..and price wise couldnt be beat

    and to toolstation.com…first class service as well..
