Our oven won't heat up!!!

[OhTheConfusion]

We have a range cooker (one large oven) and when DH turned it on earlier the oven was fine for a few min then the electricity seemed to go. DH realised a swich had tripped, flicked it and the oven cam back on... lights working, fan ok but not heating!!! Help!

The oven is 13mths old, I want to cry :(

Have you set the clock? Ours won't work until that is set.

Will try now, brb!

God im so dim, there is no clock!

OK that was the extent of my helping, hopefully someone else will come along with a sensible suggestion.

It is this one if that's any help. Thanks so far.

The description in your link says " The oven is electric and benefits from a 120-minute timer for cooking convenience." Ovens will not usually start after a power cut until the timer has been reset to manual, and any clock has been reset. This is to stop them turning themselves on, unattended, after a power cut.

Also, I see it has a gas hob and a single oven. Is it supplied by a plug and socket? This sort often can be, if there is just one oven. My dual-fuel can. Double ovens can't, and electric hobs can't. If it is, change the fuse in the plug.

If that isn't the problem, it is very common for the insulation in an oven element to fail. Usually this shows itself by tripping the RCD, if there is one (the Earth Leakage fault detector, looks like an unusually wide switch and has a "test" and a "reset" button on it)

If there is no RCD, the fault may not be noticed until it gets quite bad.

13 months is not long for an element to last, though.
