Probably the ring element. If the clock is flashing zeros or 8's the bottom oven will not operate but the top will. Make sure the clock is set (doesn't have to be the correct time, just not flashing) If the fan and light then work but no heat, defo the element part no 499003
If the fan is working o/k, then you need fit a new oven element located behind removeable rear cover in oven compartment.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.
Yes Dave there is a circular element round the fan costs about £30 squid from allspares and is dead easy to replace for anyone with a little DIY skill. Simply take old out and retrace your steps to replace new one Good luck. Oh and you must re-set the clock for it to work. No clock-no oven
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?
Is the clock set? The display must show the correct time and must not be set to automatic cooking. If the light comes on and the fan is working then the clock is set. If there is no heat then the element behind the cover and surrounding the fan is probably open circuit. This can be accessed without needing to remove the oven from the carcass. Good luck
On appliances like this only the heating elements use 220 volts. things like the clock, fan, etc use 110 volts. That is why some things work and other do not. Start at the breaker, sometimes a double pole breaker will have 1 side tripped, but will look perfectly fine. switch the breaker all the way to off then re-set. If nothing changes follow the power to the appliance remove the panel and look for some fuses, check to see if any are blown. Also sometimes the microwave will have a separate power source even though its built in to the same appliance. So that's not always a good symptom to follow.
turn of at mains, wait 5 mins and turn back on then consult your handbook to set clock. i suspect you have the oven on automatic by mistake.
if this don't work, you may have a problem with the clock itself. you can bypass the clock by connecting together the two contacts adjacent to the clock relay
if the oven fan and light are not working, then the clock probably needs setting.
if oven fan and light work, but no heat, then the problem is probably the circular element round the fan. remove the back panel of the oven and you can often (but not always) see the damage.
replacement of the element is straightforward
assume a fan oven.does fan turn and oven light come on? if so problem is the circular element.
if no fan and no oven light, then clock probably needs setting - this will be in instruction book. clocks sometimes go wrong but not often. if clock is faulty, a cheap repair is to bypass the clock so auto function no longer works
