Help-cooker not working. Any ideas?

[TwoTonTessie]

It's a single fan oven. None of the lights are working and there is no heat but when you switch it on the fan makes a whirring noise so there must be power going through. Could it be the thermostat? I can order replacement parts online if I know what the problem is. We can't afford a new one this close to Christmas

Sounds silly, but does it have a digital clock/timer? If it does, and this isn't set to a time, the oven won't work.

Otherwise - no idea, sorry :(

No, there's no timer on it. I can't understand what's wrong with it.

thermostat would not stop the lights working.

Usually, when you open the door, does the fan stop? Does that happen today?

Is it a cooker or an oven? All electric or part gas?

It's an electric fan oven (gas hob on top). Once the the control is switched to fan it starts whirring and remains that way whether the door is open or shut

do the igniters for the gas hob work?

What are these lights that don't work?

My fan oven recently stopped working. It came on but there was no heat. It needed a new fan element. I got someone in to fix it as I wasn't sure about doing it myself but now I've seen how easy it is I'd do it myself next time and save the money.

It sounds like the element, I changed the one on our oven when it went- very straightforward. Just Google for the element and then you tube for video of how to change it. Take a photo of the year old one before you disconnect it and put the new one in the same way.

Dp was impressed at my electrical skills, when in reality it was a piece of piss!

Gas hob works fine pigletjohn. The lights are the interior oven light and a red light on the front when it is switched on.

then it sounds to me like a fault on the oven switch or wiring. I can't see any way a burned-out element would stop the oven light or indicator light from working. The red indicator light probably runs through the thermostat, but not the oven light. It would be interesting to change the interior oven lamp for a new one to check.

If so, it needs an Appliance mender.
