i have a vey old tricity contesssa cooker(which i love!) The rings are heating but the oven and grill have stopped working,any suggestions on how to fix please??
First things first. The oven element is totally separate to the grill element. The clock has to have a time set for either the top or bottom oven to work, whereas the grill will work without the clock being set. The control knob for the top oven is the ONLY control that will turn the top oven lights on, the grill does not turn the lights on. ( If you want to watch your toast, you have to turn the top oven switch on to the first setting as well as operating the grill control). To prevent the grill being operated with the door shut, there is a micro-switch on the door hinge that allows the grill to operate ONLY when the door is down. The grill control also does not illuminate unless the door is down. There are two options on the grill control - right or left. One way is the inner element only and the other is both inner and outer ones.
Sounds like the oven element is faulty.
This is usually located at the rear of the oven compartment behind a remov eable cover.
Please rate my solution.
Thankyou
if you are having trouble setting the clock times etc this is probably down to a worn bit generator this is the knob you turn to set the time they get dirty when using oven or grill and wont operate properly,the clock will need changing im afraid as there no way to open the clock without destroying it.
I have a manual for this oven which I can copy and email to get the grill to work you need to in this order.
Switch oven temp to max
then set function to grill
then set grill temp to what ever.
If you dont do it in that order the grill wont come on for some raeson.
