Tricity bendix double oven

Is the clock set to auto and not manual? Is the clock display flashing? If so then set to manual, this should do the trick

Turn off the mains power. wait about thirty secs. turn back on, you should have either all 0's or 8's flashing. Looking at the clock buttons left to right. press the button fourth from left and the - or + to set the time (doesn't have to be the correct time, just not flashing 0 or 8's). Leave for second until the display is not flashing.You should be able to use the oven now. If not you may have a problem with the clock, this can happen if you have been using the top grill with the door open and the controls have gotten too hot. Neff ovens have no function where the door is left open during cooking or grilling.

It looks like the clock has failed. Try leaving the power off for at least 10 mins, turn it back on at the main switch and then try it. If it still doesn't work Espares can get you a new one. Incidentally, if there is power to the oven, the grill will work even if the clock is not set.

It could be a burnt wire or loose wire. test the wires for amps with a electric tester

power to the main oven has to go through the oven clock if time is not set main oven will not work also if clock set on auto time rather than manual oven will not work conversley if clock is faulty it will not work top oven is unaffected as oven clock auto timer cannot be used on top oven.try resetting power of and on again reset time on clock if clock not faulty oven will now work.

I think I might have a manual for this oven! Is it a built-in job with the grill at the bottom and main oven at the top, made by Thorn Tricity?

Hi,

Just to let you know that i have solved the problem with my cooker, (clock flashing after electric going off) i held down the cook period button and the end time button, then i was able to reset the clock by pressing the +button.

The symptoms you describe are a classic example of an oven element heating up, and as it gets hotter, the insulation is breaking down, thereby causing the earth leakage trip to operate.
To confirm this , switch on the oven, and turn all 4 rings on the top to full heat, 2 at a time, let them stay on for at least 10-15 mins, and if it does not trip, then you can be pretty sure it is the oven element(s) that is the problem

It is not likely to be the wall switch, as if it were faulty, i would expect the trip to go right away.
If you want to check further, then turn on the oven again and see if it trips, if it does ,then it is definately the oven element(s) that is the problem.

If it is a fan assisted oven , the element is at the rear of the oven, and possibly one under the base ot the oven. If it is a conventional convection oven, then there is an element at each side of the oven, even if one is faulty, replace both.

Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

Element needs replacing

there is a safety stat/fuse on top of the oven exterior i think you will find that it also has blown. Make sure you have isolated the appliance at the fuse board first though, Good Luck
