Electrolux EOD33002X Electric Oven Clock Issue

[mderoy]

I have an Electrolux EOD33002X double oven, and over the past few years the clock has started randomly resetting itself. When this happens, the display starts flashing and buzzing, just as it does when the time hasn't been set.

At first, this only happened occasionally, but it's now become much more frequent. I'm having to switch the oven off at the mains when I'm not using it because the clock keeps resetting.

The biggest problem is that it now sometimes happens while I'm actually using the oven. With this model, the oven won't operate if the clock hasn't been set. Whenever it resets, I have to hold the minute/increase button until the time is set again before I can continue using it.

I initially thought it might be a loose electrical connection, so I removed the oven and checked the connections at the back. Everything appears secure and I couldn't see any obvious problems.

Has anyone experienced this problem with this model, or have any idea what could be causing it? Is there a repair for the clock/timer, or is it likely to be something more serious?

It seems a shame to replace the whole oven because, apart from this issue, everything else works perfectly.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Not familiar with your oven but it sounds like the clock is intermittently loosing a supply even if it stays on in the rest of the appliance. I would guess that the clock is mounted on a circuit board connected by a a pl/skt. pull them apart and apply some contact cleaner. If that doesn't help check the rear of the board for dry joints or components that might be overheating. Filing that you might need a new timer but you will need to find your pnc or ean number to ensure you get the correct part.

The 'repair' for this problem is to locate the two wires that the module connects together to turn on the oven and connect them permanently. All other wires to the clock / timer can be disconnected for ever.

Then the oven will work, and the never-used clock will not.
