Timer dosn't work therefor oven dosn't go on - Ovens

Replace the timer

i suspect that you did cut power to the oven when you replaced the element. therefore the oven needs to be reset as new. there are quite a few pages of instructions on setting the timer so be prepared if you are going to to proceed with this "little" project.
I was able to locate your manual online here:http://kitchen.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/zanussi/zuq_875.html?idRes=625295

I suggest unplugging it for a few minutes...then plugging it back in. Hopefully if the electrical is good you will see the oven's timer flashing. then you can proceed with the instructions from page 7.
Otherwise, you may have a blown a short and should get a licensed electrician to look at it.
Another option would be to contact the manufacturer:[email protected]

Or, find the bloke that installed it and invite him over for dinner and maybe he'll notice it's not working and will fix it for free! ;-)
Good luck mate!

You need to take the timer out of the circuit (you will only be able to run the oven without timer).
1. Switch off the mains or disconnect the oven from mains.
2. Pull out the 5 buttons of timer. Might need to apply a bit of force but they should come out fairly easily.
3. Pull the two temperature adjustment knobs out.
4. The glass decorative plate is attached with some sort of clamps so if you pull it off the oven it should come off as well.
5. Take out the 3 screws on top of the oven above the wireing. You should be able to bend the metal panel up a bit.
6. Take out the 3 screws that secure the side panel by the front panel. You should bend the panel out here as well.
7. Now you should be able to see inside behind the timer unit. There are two clamps on each side of timer that keep it in place. From behind they can be pressed in so the timer can be pulled out towards the front.
8. Once done take a look at the wires that go into the timer unit. There are four: A, B, C, D. Disconnect all but make sure you mark them which is which.
9. You will not need wire A and B so put insulating tape on the metal connectors and let them hanging loose. The are the power source of the timer.
10. Cut the connectors off of wire C and D, and solder them together. Then put insulating tape over the bare soldered wire. The timer is now cut out of the circuit and can only be switched on/off by the temperature adjusting knob.
11. Tuck the wires back into the appliance making sure they are loose and well placed, possibly far from the oven side.
12. Lock the timer back in place if you want. It is going to be a dead weight doing nothing so it is not necessary to put it back.
12. Assemble the coverings in reverse order as described above.

You should be a working oven now with the annoying bit removed and being better off a few hundred quid.

unit needs to be pulled apart and the buttons restored to their proper positions but the maybe something broken that holds it in place

When you say board I assume you mean the electronic clock/timer. This timer directly affects the oven operation. Even if the internal oven fuse is blown or the thermal overload is tripped the electronic timer and oven light will always work. If the oven light works and the electronic timer/clock does not I'd say that the timer/clock is faulty.

Hi.
If it is a fan assisted oven, and the fan is working o/k, then you to replace the oven heater element.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

You're stove must be perfectly fine, but the thing displaying all those options may have a problem. Try to get this fixed as soon as possible.

Hi.
thanks for request re your gas oven,unfortunately ,I have no experience of gas ovens, and am therefore unable to help solve your prob.
Check the experts, and see if there is one who is conversent with gas ovens.. Once again , sorry.

This is how I reset my U1420NOGB/FD7907 NEFF double electric oven that I inherited also without an instruction book.
There are 4 buttons in a row and then a timer knob that moves left and right.The first button is black,second has an arrow,,third has an arrow and fourth a hand symbol on it.Hold down together, the black button and the arrow button next to it.Without releasing either,twist the timer knob clockwise(to the right)until correct time is showing.Do not release the other buttons at all ,until time is ok.If you miss correct time keep going ,dont go backwards.When time is correct,,release black and arrow buttons and auto will stop flashng ,and oven work.If auto doesn,t stop flashing at this point press the button with hand symbol (manual)on it once.
