My ovens flame is completely a dark yellow is this normal? my cooker is a cannon thankyou

If the flame stays low from the beginning then it will be the flame safety device (fsd) not opening on sensing the flame and will require replacement by a gas certified engineer.

It could be the flame failure device our Cannon had the same problem

is it a gas range?are you getting soot? you need to look at flame while unit is on, remove oven botton to expose the burner, easy!!!! 2 screws on back inside over and pull bottom up. shut door turn on range and look at flame if it is yelolow and long flames you need air ajustment at burner, inside very bottom door you will see the air shutter, open it a litttle if falmes are yellow and long and test it again.

Problem solved, Turned out to be the flame fail device. Next problem was sourcing part. Turns out that allegedly Cannon is now owned by Hotpoint so sourced part through them

Hey Stephen - try setting the clock then set the cook period. the oven will only work when that's on i think.

all gas range ovens have a small metal box in the back upper area of the broiler burner; a gas line runs into this box as do two wires; this is a "flame control " gas valve; the way it works is: after the pilot has been lit as you turn the oven temp control a heating element in the box causes a small valve to open allowing a larger amount of gas into the oven burner to ignite the whole burner If you can only get pilot flame on high replace this valve

So long as the earth is connected to the earth terminal, then there is no prob for you to worry about.
The normal twin and earth cable is adequate.
Please rate my comments.
Thankyou..

The POP sound normally indicates a short circuit fault (as opposed to overload) you need to have it looked at by a competent person.
