[muggles]

I'm looking to buy a replacement Touch Control Pad for the above, any ideas what the part number is please? I've found one on BuySpares but it's £270! Hoping I can find one cheaper but no idea of the part number

Post the pnc number (on the nameplate).

Assuming you mean the Product Number, it's 948522172

Cheers

Thanks for that, mildly less hideous than the last price, still a lot to be spending on a three-year-old cooker though, touchpad's never really been right since we had it, used to fall out of it's holder a lot.

Muggles - what was symptom that required you to replace the control panel?
Ours is misbehaving- the hob appears to start then immediately switches off.

In the end the control panel didn't need replacing at all, there's been a long fight with Electrolux's approved repairers over this, who tried to tell us the part was obsolete.......anyway, I won't go into that. We discovered that the problem was not with the board, but with one of the connecting leads. Electrolux sent us a whole bag of leads free gratis after we complained at them a lot, seems to be OK now.

As for symptoms, we got it coming on and off randomly, and not always being responsive to us touching the panel

I had a similar problem after 3 years - random operations, and then two touch pads failed completely, one was the on/off switch. Quoted price for spare was around £200. The touch panel is a glass plate with two small PCBs attached with sensors monted on them. The plate is glued on the front with adhesive strips top and bottom. Nothing venture/nothing win. I cut through the top glue strip with a stanley knife. The panel then folded down (the glue is very rubbery) and I supported it with a couple of sticky tape straps. The panel connectors were then quite visible, and they can be pulled out carefully and cleaned. To avoid static damage touch fingers and any tools onto the metal frame before touching the electronic parts. The sensor chips looked to have acquired quite a bit of dust around them, so I cleaned all around them with a small brush moistened with lighter fluid - the only solvent I had handy. Lo and behold it started working perfectly again. I cleared away the old glue strip and stuck the panel back with a few short pieces of double sided as used to mount car trims. This left some gaps at the top which I closed with a strip of transparent tape. The really annoying thing is that the panel cannot cost more than a few pounds to make, but to replace it costs nearly as much as a new oven.

My Aunt has one of these ovens and I thought that I would try and find out about whether it is fixable?

I read your post with interest and am keen to find out more about how you access the touch panels?

How do you get access to it? Is it a difficult process. Some brief notes on how to get in would be useful before I take the plunge.

I would obviously disconnect the electrics and stuff, but is there anything else I would need?

Next time I come I will bring my tools but want to be prepared.

Thanks in advance.
