Isolate it (preaching to the converted), take the back off and check the windings on the motor. It might be overheating and your smelling the laquer burning.


Unplug your appliance before working on it.

Done all that bein a spark its the first port of call but the winding on the motor did not look discoloured or running hot i was lookin for a build up of carbon from the bushes but this was also ok.. called dimplex and they where not very helpfull the funny thing is the company i work for is a Dimplex heating agent and still they would not help. the oven is only 3 years old too and it was bloody expensive.

If you havent seen or heared of this fault before no worries i will bite the bullet and change the motor and see what happens.

Cheers for the reply anyways.
