Bosch Oven doesn't want to play

[Rufus2502]

I took the fan motor off a working Bosch built in electric oven to replace it, and now the heating element does not switch on, though if I switch the mains cooker wall switch I can hear a relay click in the control panel, so there is power going to it. The only two contacts I touched were the motor feeds, I'm mystified, and have no volt meter on site, I would think the oven would work without the fan motor connected ?

What can I check ?

Have you set the clock on the oven? Lots of ovens won't heat up unless the clock has been set!

and make sure the timer is not activated.

... and have no volt meter on site...

What test equipment DO you have on site? AVI?

Fixed, thanks fellas.

I never would have guessed the oven wouldn't work without the clock set.

He came back and told us, unlike many. No shame.

Thanks.

I had an oven the other week that needed the clock setting first and then after that had to press the select button for approx 5 seconds before it came on. Can't remember the brand, and I thought it was knacked at first until the householder came to the rescue!

Castle Wilko power goes off about once a month. Eventually even the mere male has had to diagnose and fix the "broken" oven. Wifey, well aware, just laughed .

Same bloke who decided that Volkswagen windscreen washer/wipers don't work unless your moving - Thank goodness for google - could've been hours fault finding otherwise.

I had to go on YouTube in the service station when I picked my van up because I didn’t know how to open the filler cap!
You know what? - it feels better now I’ve share that!

Well that’s no good to the 70 year olds parked up on the sea front eating their sandwiches with a flask of hot tea! How are they supposed to watch the crashing waves when it’s raining? by rolling forward and back - recipe for disaster that one!
