20 Most Recent De Dietrich DOC310 Electric Single Oven Questions & Answers

The part that needs replacing is the clock timer.

FIRST: ISOLATE THE CIRCUIT.

The front fascia is held on by three clips. Take off the two knobs and gently pry away the fascia fron the left, right and top centre.

The clock timer is held in by four plastic push clips at the top and bottom about 1cm in from the end. Push them in and pull the timer out.

There are now three wires on push clips attached at the back.

Do not take the colours for granted. On my oven just repaired the Live was Black and the Neutral was Red! The black marked 'C' is the input. The side by the trip switch is the output. The Red goes on the other side.

When the timer trips it causes the circuit between the input and output to break.

You have two options now:

Read the serial number of the timer and try and order it (expensive), swap the cables over.


Carefully run an electrical cable between the push clips on both black cables making sure you leave no exposed wire. Your timer and clock however will never work, the oven just does not care about it anymore.





Note: I am not an oven engineer, I am an electrical engineer in another field and have tested voltages and current and believe this to be safe. I have done this on my own oven.

unplug it

Hi,I already explained, you need to replace the big 1.5uF Capacitor thatis reponsible for the voltage drop from 220V to about 10V. You need toremove the timer controler module from the oven, in the meanwhile youcan shunt the 2 wires that usually are shunt by the relay, and thenbuy a new capacitor and replace it with a soldering iron.Good luck.

its a fix more than a solution but you can bypass the clock thus allowing the oven to operate again
unplug at the mains and remove the oven from the housing remove the two fastening screws from the metal lid on the top of the oven ,and remove the lid
you will see the timer back panel with 3 wires coming to it, 2 are black (switching line) and 1 is red (Live feed to timer )
If you pull the connectors from the 2 black wires from the timer board and connect the ends together using a connector block, the timer switch becomes inactive and allows the oven functions to operate again.
you will have no timer functions but its a cheap fix and who uses the timer any way
good luck Andy B
ps if anyone has a set of operating manuals for ths oven i would be glad of a copy

had same problem but didn't fix it because i don't use the clock. after a few months it got worse, can't set the time (clock always flashing) so the oven doesn't work.

I'm not familiar with your oven but most oven doors are very similar in operation. When the door doesn't close well it's generally because the hinges have been stretched/bent when the oven door has been open. To see if this is the case, open the door fully. If it's stretched the door will open past 90 degrees (slope down instead of being horizontal). The easiest way to fix this is to bend it back. Place something as a spacer between the door and the oven on both sides (like a spanner handle or anything strong and about 8mm thick) as close to the hinge as possible. Close the door against it carefully and push the door closed. Do it a little at a time and remove the spacers and try the door each time until you are happy that it closes nicely again. It should be spring loaded closed slightly.

Hello there,
The basic components to check in the oven. Which is the heating element. To test the element:
If the range is receiving power, set the timer on the range to the MANUAL position. If the element still doesn't heat, turn off the power to the range and test it with a VOM set to the RX1 scale.
Remove the screws or plugs that connect the element to the power. Remove the retaining shield, which is usually held by two screws, and remove the element from the brackets that hold it in the oven. The element is usually held in these brackets by screws. Electric ranges and ovens use Nichrome elements to supply heat. Most malfunctions involve faulty heating elements.
Clip the probes of the VOM to each element terminal. If the element is in working order, the meter will read from 15 to 30 ohms. If the meter reads higher than 30 ohms, the element is faulty and should be replaced. If the element tests all right but doesn't work, the problem may be at the terminals. Make sure the terminals are clean and tight at the element connections.
Oven and broiler elements cannot be tested without a VOM. If you don't have a VOM, take the element to a professional service person for testing. The problem is usually a malfunctioning element; however, you aren't risking much by replacing the element without a professional test.
Take the burned out element with you to the appliance-parts store to make sure you get the right replacement part; if possible, take the make and model information, too.
To install the new element, place it in the same position as the old one. Connect it the same way the old one was connected, using the same screws to hold it in place. Just about all the other components of an electric range or oven (including its door gasket, oven controls, and timer) are virtually the same as the components used on gas ranges.
Most problems with gas and electric ovens or ranges are easier to fix than you think. The key is knowing how the various parts work and when to replace them.
Turn off the power to the oven at the breaker box.
Take out the screws holding the element bracket in place. These will be on the back wall of the oven, or sometimes on the top.
Pull the element toward you a little bit until you see the wires behind it.
Unscrew the leads and take the bad element out.
Hold the new element up while you attach the wires to it. Don't stretch the wires any more than you have to.
Line up the element while tucking the wires back in. Be sure not to pinch the wires between the bracket and the back wall.
Fasten the brackets, making sure they're tight.
Restore power to the appliance.
Hope this was helpful to you. Goodluck Elect_Comp
