In March 2007 ‘oldtrainee’ had a problem which seems identical to one I have now...
My 10-year-old Smeg A1 gas/electric range cooker with an EL145 timer/programmer has no timer/programmer display (but is energised). All oven functions are inoperative.
Is the fault definitely with the timer/programmer? Is it safe to temporarily bypass the timer, and if so, how? There are four connections to the unit, two of which are linked. A successful bypass would show that it really is a timer/programmer fault and I would feel more confident in replacing it at a cost of £100+.
‘Chri5’ suggested obtaining the replacement the component from the espares website, but ‘oldtrainee’ couldn’t track down one with an identical part number. Did he fix his cooker satisfactorily?
