my electric oven has just stopped working thought it was the fuse as the ignition and the clock both not working either - changed that and still nothing, checked the main fuse but that seems ok any ideas?? There was no bang or fuse tripping before hand just one day it worked and the next it didn't!!
Any advice would be great thanks x

What's the voltage measurement at the electrical
box connected to the oven?

"Electric oven", "ignition" ?

Sounds like a natural GAS oven with electric controls.

Did clock work when fuse was changed?

If not, then meter the incoming AC. Maybe a rat ate thru your wiring ;-)

**Assuming the clock controls the oven timer, then that is where the
problem likely lies. There will be a relay (or TRIAC) that controls the
elements. You could short out the relay and get the oven working, or you
could fix the clock. The fault with the clock is most likely the power
supply. Specifically: Any electrolytic caps in that power supply. The
caps will probably be rated at 125 degrees C or more. Hard to find, but
not too expensive.

The OP seems to have disappeared without answering my questions about
make model, type, etc.

**SOP for the internet. They turn up, asking questions, but failing to
supply the most basic information.

I bet the fault lies with the clock power supply. Ovens are extremely
simple devices. The only complicated thing is the clock and element
control system. Well, except for the very latest ovens. They are
microprocessor controlled things. You can still bet that electros will
be the problem when they go belly-up.

This discussion concerning taking voltage measurements at the input of
the oven sounds a bit over the OP's head. And this person really
considered screwing around with what probably is a 240V appliance? I
see this ALL the time however it never ceases to amaze me. I think
they were looking for the little man inside sitting on the defective
component and waving the flag. Sounds more like a case of "Operator
Head space" to me. Lenny

Beckyboo provided us with the trouble symptom,
what she did in an attempt to fix the problem and a
simple request for help, all stated in easily
understandable English.

She safely checked and replaced fuses in the fuse
box, so she should have no trouble safely driving
a multimeter.

As others have said, there is a small question about
what she meant by 'ignition' if this really is
an *electric* oven.

About the worst thing one can say is that she
apparently expected an answer within minutes of
typing her question into USENET and didn't bother
to answer follow-up questions.

I may have been a bit cynical, but people trying to repair their own
stuff these days coupled with the cheap crap imported from China is
killing the repair business for all the rest of us, and if I hurt her
feelings I am truly sorry. However with talk of ignition, multimeters
and triacs, I would bet that she now realizes that this repair should
be left to a professional. Lenny

Meh. She left the scene minutes after posting her request.

I'm not going to bore you with all the 'professional' level
service I've had lately which required my attention before
proper function was gained. Present company excepted of course
but at my house, 'professional' attention virtually guarantees
that something is very badly mangled.

Jeeze, stop twisting! All right:

Fan hood under microwave oven installed with the exhaust
flap still secured shut for shipping. The "Remove before
installation" tag still in place holding the vent closed.
House would fill with smoke during grilling, setting off
smoke alarms.

Small stones placed underneath strainer basket in dish
washer at installation, causing drainage problems.

Aftermarket elastomer restrictor installed in the condensate
drain of new refrigerator, guaranteeing blockage of
condensate and ice buildup in the bottom of the freezer
compartment after the first power outage.

Dual gang outlets left dangling 6" out of the front of
an electrical outlet box under the sink by 'electrician'.

Defective tire mounted on car, causing pulling to the
right.

Brakes misadjusted on car, causing stopping distances
to be stunningly extended.

Lug nuts over-tightened on car causing rotor warpage.

'Incomplete' installation of brake parts, causing brake
shoes to wear conically.

Irrigation tubing installed so that plant roots slowly crimped it shut.

Removed three loads of soil repeatedly dumped in back yard by previous
landscape contractor after I told him that I didn't need or want
any additional soil placed there.

Repaired driver side seat swapped into my car during tire mounting.
Replaced damaged dipstick and oil cap swapped during same tire mounting.

Replaced battery in SWMBO's watch that had just been replaced
by a 'professional' watch repair outfit. My battery still
works great months later, theirs lasted a few weeks then konked out.

Replaced water main to house to recover from a landscaper
leak that caused my flower bed to surf down the driveway.

It goes on and on!

quacks in 'healthcare'.

When I had a problem with my Oven, I called related customer service. They were very helpful.
