I am not familiar with your model of cooker but I assume it is a gas cooker.

Gas cookers have safety devices in the oven and grill the hob rings do not need. I speculate even the domestic oven hasn't escaped the interference from the electronics industry and I expect the aforementioned safety devices depend on (low voltage) electronics and electronics depend on electricity - that the lights aren't working would suggest there is no (low voltage) electricity.

Even in the case of an electric oven the thermostat could be electronic and need (low voltage) electricity to work.

I suspect the internal power supply has failed.

Testimonial: "Thank you very much for your helpful advice Vernon."

    Many thanks Vernon, my oven is electric, the ovens have started working again but no such luck with the grill, do you still think it could be the power supply and if so is that expensive to repair or replace?

    It's a 1970's oven with a high level grill

    Unlikely the manufacturer would produce a cooker needing multiple low voltage power supplies. A circuit diagram would be an invaluable aid to discovering likely locations of fault(s).

    Yes it could still be the power supply inasmuch as it could have multiple outlets or a single supply and one or more junctions or distribution points sending the power to different parts of the cooker. In this case it would indicate a wiring fault or poor connections at one of the distribution points.

Hi the grill on my zanussi freestanding cooker is not working but the oven and hob are still working and we replaced the element in the grill so it's not that

If you have replaced the grill element and it still doesn't work, there are a few other things you can check.
First, make sure that the grill is actually turned on and that the grill control knob is set to the correct temperature.
Next, check the grill's thermostat, which is typically located near the grill element. Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the thermostat, as a faulty thermostat can prevent the grill from heating up.
If the thermostat is functioning properly, you may need to check the grill's selector switch, which determines whether the grill or oven is used. A faulty switch can prevent the grill from working.
Finally, if none of these solutions work, there may be a wiring issue within the grill or in the main control board of the cooker. In this case, it may be best to seek the assistance of a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

I have a stoves cooker which was working fine until we upgraded to the seventeeth edition consumer unit and rcds. Now I have a negative earth fault.Rcd trips out, circuit is fine up to the cooker. Any...

The clue will be when the rcd trips out. If everything is switched off on the cooker with the exception of the clock when you power it up and then it trips out, it could be in the wiring to the oven from the control switch and or the wiring in the oven. The only way you are going to find this is to take the oven out of the housing and test the wiring, isolating components until you find the problem.

Had a two Jackson topline cookers for the past 31 years I think the timer is on auto that is why the oven is heating up its self. Look at the clock there will be 3 bottons push in the one that is marked auto that should set the oven back to manual for you. Hope that this helps

Hi.i have a hotpoint creda c362e cooker the rings work grill works but main oven and top oven elements dont come on even when lights come on when switched on fan works but no heat could you help me on this...

Hi.
Frpm the sympton's you list, I would say that the main oven element has failed, espsecially if the fan is working o/k.
The element is located at the rear of the oven compartment behind a removeable cover.
In addition to the grill elements in the top oven compartment, there is an additional base element which you can't see.
If you turn the top oven on, the base of the compartment should get hot, if it does not, then the base element has probably failed.
Hope this helps.

No timer

Yes sorry to say that your oven wont work you will have to have a new timer fitted, but first make sure that having a new timer fitted is not more expensive than buying a new cooker

Hotpoint cooker, grill doesn't work but top oven does

If the elements 'look' okay, they probably are. The 'infinite control switch' is probably the problem. With out the use of a meter, it's guess work. Unless you can see a connection problem.

If the rings work o/k then could be timer if it has one make sure it is set to manual and not auto.
Another thing it could be is a faulty selector switch, which selects the different functions.
Hope this helps.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.
