Rangemaster Elan 90 (Dual Fuel) Dual Fuel (Electric and Gas) Kitchen Range - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Hello
My Leisure Rangemaster is smoking like mad from the vents . I've had to turn it of instantly - it stank of " burn" ?
Could this be the fan motor by any chance ?
Hello Lisa,
I love these cookers, they are beautiful.
FIRST OF ALL, REMOVE THE PLUG
Then pull the cooker out of its place and unscrew the backplate on the side where you think the problem is.
When it really is the ventilator, you will find then some very dark colored wires.
The reason for this is most often a bad contact.
When the wire is not burned to much, remove the burned connection, clean it and put it back again.
In case of a really bad burne wire, do not replace the wire, but use shrink hose
Just be sure that the connection is ok again.

Clock and ingnition not working on a rangemaster dual fuel stove
- Hello David,
when the clock does not work, the (left hand) oven will not work too I suppose.
Often when the clock does not work, it is only the timer that does not work. In that case, the timer can be bypassed. The oven still works then, but without the timer and the clock will also work as a clock.
So no timer.
When it is an older rangemaster, and the ignition does not work, then probably are some wires leaking. I that case the power for the spark does not come to the burner sparkplug.
But when all plugs do not spark then there are 2 possibilities I think.
1 the ignitor is gone
2 the ignitor does not get power
I hope this helps, I wish you a good weekend, Dik

Rangemaster excel 110. Timer broken, gas ignition spark thing broken , right hand oven not heating, lheat indicator light not coming on, slow cooker light on even when in off position. Help please
Hello Anon61,
Wow, that is a lot of problems with one cooker.
First of all, there must be an inspection of an engineer.
I am afraid he will tell you to buy a new one, as repair with so many troubles will cost a lot of money.
Timers are often the source of problems.
When that occurs, the oven that is controled by the timer will not work. For the Rangemaster Exel 110, the left hand oven is served by the timer, so this oven should not work too.
In this case, I would test the element in the right hand oven, as I think, it is gone.
When this cooker has an ignitor that works by pressing the knob, then all knobs work like it is one knob. That means, if no sparkplug ignites, then there is a problem with the ignitor or with the wireing.
When there is at least one plug that ignites, then the problem is in the contacts of the other knobs.
The light of the oven is a neon light, that only needs a very small amount of current. I think, that this light is on because of other electric problems. As soon as those problems are solved, the oven lamp will work again as it should.
I wish you a wonderfull weekend and a lot of succes, Dik

Rangemaster 110 gas cooker. How can I make it to comply with the gas regulation?
Non compliance of a product is usually because the Gas Board, Gas Regulators, Government Agency, etc have determined that the unit is unsafe to use under certain conditions. I have no idea why yours doesnt comply but it would be something to do with safe operation. In Australia for instance, any gas appliance sold here, must meet AGA requirements and have an AGA Approval decal on it with an authority number. The oven you have probably doesnt carry a Government approval and this would make it illegal for a Gas Tech to instal it. I would suggest you contact the supplier for more information. It is strange though that they would be allowed to sell a unit that doesnt comply.

Why isn't my Rangemaster Hood blower turning when switched on?
Hi Ed
Being a range hood & subjected to cooking fats etc. It might be gummied up around the fan and just require cleaning!
But.... you said it was humming and there is a capacitor close by.
Then it's probably an induction motor thats not getting kick started by the Cap. While it's humming, use a finger (or stick) to push start in one direction or try other direction. If it spins up and stays going.... you've found the problem. The Cap is not kick starting in the right direction. Remove the Cap (with AC Disconnected) and check the values to get a similar replacement.
Good Luck

Lpg rangemaster burning yellow
The yellow is a sign of incomplete combustion due to lack of air pre air mixture to the burner mixer tube, which is outside diy and should be looked at by a qualified engineer.

The door on my rangemaster 101 wont shut properly
John, it sounds like the problem is in the hinges. They are not aligned, even thought the seal has been changed, the door is not seated properly as a result the steam comes out. You will need to readjust the hinges. If this seems out of your comfort zone you may want to call a professional.
