I have an SE210X. Recently the lights have been dim and timer only beeps a couple of times goes to 0:00 and flashes, can't switch it off and have to reset time. Today buzzing noise and now no lights

The capacitor on the back of the display is failing. Heat warms up the gel inside it. The capacitor can be replaced by an electronics tech or you can buy a new control board display..

You may find the necessary information related to your problem among these manuals Oven service manual download repair manuals installation schematic... Just choose your oven manufacturer and model.

Firstly, make sure the actual time is correct. Set the oven (if it's a double oven the clock function will only work on the main oven) to the setting and temp required. The first timer setting you put in is the cooking duration (not the start time) ie if it's a casserole that you want on low for a couple of hours, adjust the first setting to 2:00, when you press for the next setting you will see the the timer has already added 2hrs to the current time, adjust this to the time you want the item to finish (eg, You want it ready for 6pm, adjust to 18:00). Don't press anything else, give it a second or two and the oven will switch off. The oven will switch on 2hrs (or whatever time you have set) before the end time. Whilst the oven is waiting to switch back on, on some models the cooling fan will run continually, this is normal. If you are a little slow enter the times the clock will time ut and return to the actual time.
Hope this helps

check the timer or replace it

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

If this helped you why not get me a beer?

Good Luck!!

Thanks for using FixYa!!

Perhaps you have up to 240 V on the lamp socket and you are installing a 120V bulb. Check for wiring faults, especially an open neutral or ground connection in the oven. If the lamp socket neutral is connected to the neutral on a lower-resistance device on the other leg, but the wire connecting these two items is not connected to the power cord neutral, the voltage across the bulb will be more than it can handle. In this scenario, the other device (heating element, timer, or whatever) will probably not work or will work poorly after the bulb blows.

no, but can i ask your general opinion of this as thinking of buying one

Thanks for replying. Have had to get local man in to sort out electrical problem.
