my main oven which requires the clock/timer to start it up doesnt work. When you turn it of at the mains and back on again the clock doesnt flash like usually what shall it do the rest of the hob works?
thanks

the fan oven will not work if the timer has packed up.
a new timer is not difficult to replace. just needs a phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws that hold the hob down(at back and underneath hob) push forward slightly and lift hob to free it. then slide back carefully just enough to get to timer. note what wire goes where, pull off spade connectors and undo the small nuts holding timer in place. TURN OFF MAINS BEFORE YOU START. otherwise approx £130 to have one fitted. hob is quite heavy and timer nuts fiddly. if your not sure what your doing get someone to do it for you.
