Belling Built in double oven Clock/timer problem

[timmyg2001]

Hi, we have a belling double in built oven, model: XoU499SS and the clock/timer is broken preventing the oven from coming or staying on.. I'm told it's a common fault and that it can be disconnected to enable the oven to work. I want to do this as we are moving soon. Any ideas how to do this? Instructions would be great



thanks
Tim

If you need to bypass the timer you will need to get to the terminals at the back of the timer.
You will need to connect both lives & both neutrals (there may not be a netral out).
Never heard of anyone wanting to do this.
Is it an electronic timer?
How much is a new timer?

thanks for the reply. sounds like something i don't want to mess with. Belling charge £75 for a new clock, then there is the cost of fitting it. Local installer wants £50 for an hours labour plus parts so don't know what he will charge for the clock unit. Want to do it as cheaply as possible as have sold the house and will be moving within 3 months.

May be cheaper hear http://www.espares.co.uk/parts/cookers-and-hobs/belling/p/1092/154?k=timer does not look too difficult to fit

It wont be difficult to fit, but fiddley & if you arnt a DIYer I wouldnt try it.
If you do try & replace it. SWITCH IT OFF AT THE SOCKET.
Also ensure that the wiring is replaced EXACTLY as it was & NOT TOUCHING other parts.
If you do it wrong it may go BANG.
