I suspect the fan element (again) as all was normal til the "power
up" of the element part of the turn on sequence (i.e. after
selecting oven mode and temp) then - dead.
No rcd trip, no MCB trip, no display, clock etc now all dead. ;(((


In the other thread someone mentioned their element going and also
an internal fuse being blown - got the back and top off mine and
only one fuse I can see on the control PCB - looks very (too?)
small & visibly fine - where else might I find the culprit of the
death?


(If I can resurrect it I can cook me stew on another mode til I get
the suspect element replaced...)


A dead PCB/no clock etc will stop the oven from working. It could be
the PCB fuse or the connections to the PCB that are loose.
