Hello,

please tell me if there is still problem after this, melnavz

This tutorial will show you how to check your Smeg element and how to replace your Smeg cooker element.
Here are the 3 main faults to look for in your oven or cooker that is not heating

• Your oven will not work until the clock/timer has been re-set after replacing an oven element or tripping the electrical supply. Consult your Smeg manual.
• If your Oven is not getting hot or heating up it could be a faulty element, if the fan in the oven is running and the thermostat light is on, this will lead us to believe that the element has gone faulty. With grills the thermostat light should come on there should be heat, if not then this could be the grill element or the thermostat.
• When you turn the oven on, the household electrical supply trips on the Rcd (this is the earth trip in the fuse board sometimes called the breaker tripping) your fan oven element has gone to earth and needs replacing.

Disconnect the power plug and check using a multimeter on the continuity of the HEATINGS ELEMENT/COILS. If open then the coils must be changed. If not there is fault in the circuit. Check the panel control switches or the relay contacts when activated as this can be faulty., specially the feed from the timer panel.

An oven for this model will cost around 120 to buy see www.shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk smeg spares/ oven timers

My same oven makes a ticking sound when you tell it to start pre-heating the oven. The oven continues to make this ticking sound until you stop the oven and it completely cools down. This ticking sounds to be coming from the oven control panel. I have no solution, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had a problem with this ticking sound!

Does the fan sound like a squeling or rumbling?Is the fan blade itself scraping on something?

My Smeg oven will not work either. All I get is an "A" on the display, the clock has disappeared and as a result the oven won't come on. I see from other postings here I can bypass the clock so that the oven works again - can anyone advise how I do this?

It looks like an S551X-5, I think the timer is a safety mechanism, maybe just set it to full when in use and turn it off when you finish.

Pull knob out and turn to adjust time.
