Try taking the power wire that goes into the timer and the power wire that comes out of the timer and put them together not hooked to the timer and that should work. If that works you should solder them together and electrical tape them good.
Make sure the power is off when you do this so you don't cook yourself.

    Well done! My partner tried this today on my cooker and now there is no power to the cooker at all!! Is there a chance he's managed to do the wrong wires & blow the fuse?

Bypass a faulty timer unit on a stoves 720ef cooker. . . . My partner tried this today on my cooker and now there is no power to the cooker at all!! Is there a chance he's managed to do the wr

I would suggest the wrong wires were cut off and joined. If the ground wire touches the power wire a fuse or circuit breaker will blow.. Before you do anything more make sure the curcuit breaker is not blown. If it is reset it and turn the cooker back on. If the breaker blows again then it is wired wrong.

I have a similar problem and contacted Stoves. Apparently the timer unit is now obsolete which means replacing the complete oven!

I have a stoves 720ef anf for no obvious reason the clock resets to 23.59 and the oven turns off, can you suggest anything

You obviously have a power loss somewhere. The oven will not work unless a time is set on the clock. I would suggest you have problem with the feed to the cooker which an electician should be able to check it out. If anything else is wrong on the cooker, it shouldn't reset the clock.

I have a stoves 720ef oven and cannot get rid of the auto

The handbook says:-
To cancel the automatic setting and return the oven to manual operation, press the cook time and ready time buttons simultaneously. These are the second and third buttons from the left. If you have done that and it is not working, try turning the complete oven off for awhile - say 30 mins and turning back on. If this still doesn't work then it may be that the timer/clock has gone faulty.

How do i increase the volume on the alarm timer on my stoves cooker

From the handbook:--
Press the MINUS button to listen to the first tone.
Release the MINUS button and press it again to listen to the second tone.
Releasing the MINUS button after the tone has sounded will automatically select that tone.

Stoves 720EF - main fan not working

When you say the main fan, do you mean the background cooling fan or do you mean the circulating fan in the bottom oven?
Do you have the handbook for this oven as the wiring diagrams are included in it. If you haven't, you can take a copy from my BT Digital Vault - all I need is an email address to register you.
Looking at the diagram, the power for the cooling fan comes via the timer board. If, as you say, the fan doesn't work at all, the timer board could have gone faulty.
