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.

Alright - I am the person who left the message before. I left the oven on for a while with the A showing and the time started ticking away. I then pushed the end of cooking time button and then the button that switches the oven back to manual. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

SOURCE: The house I've just bought

Most of these ovens have two fans. A fan forced fan in the oven and a cavity extractor fan inside the cavity of the unit between the outer skin and the oven wall. The cavity fan blows hot cavity air out the front of the unit so it remains cool. If the orange indicator light is coming on this would normally be the oven element thermostat. Leave it on and see if it gets hot. If the light goes off when you select the function switch it means you are turning it off the oven function. Your interior oven light may be blown.
Hope this helps.

How do you recalibrate the oven temperature of a Whirlpool Accubake oven system
Hello,

To do that;
  1. Press BAKE

  2. Select a temperature of 550 or highest temp on some models its 500

  3. Quickly (within 5-seconds of setting 550) press and hold the BAKE button approximately 5-15 seconds until "00" or the previously entered temperature adjustment is displayed.

    Pressing longer could cause an F0, F1 or F7 error to be displayed.

  4. Press the UP/DOWN arrow button or turn the set knob to change the oven temperature in 5° increments to a maximum of +/- 35°

  5. Press the CLEAR or OFF button to return to normal operation.

I have a new (about 7 months old) SMEG SAP112-8 60cm Linear Pyrolytic Oven. The knob to turn the oven on does not seem to work. You usually push it in (and meet some resistance) to turn the oven on, then...
We have experienced the same problem. We have a service tech coming to fix it. The knob has come off. It seems that the internal spring has dislodged itself. This will be claimed under warranty. Ours is 5 months old. Our other Linear combo oven and coffee machine seem to be more solid/sturdy.

Smeg F170P-5 Oven
Models with analogue/digital programmer feature a "DEMO" function which deactivates the heating elements while leaving the other functions unchanged. To activate it, simply press the bell (minute minder), - and + keys for 3/4 seconds. A confirmation beep will inform the user that the function is active. To deactivate it, simply repeat the same procedure. This worked for my Smeg SC399X-6.

Oven smoking
I am pretty sure this is just the steam escaping. Smeg ovens seal so evenly that the steam stays in the oven.
