I've read the "getting started" instructions regarding the auto matic switch on and it doesn't seem to make sense. I can get it to turn off automatically but not on. Sorry for being dim.

Are you sure it's the oven still running and not the built in cooling fan...next time look at the fan at the rear of the oven if it's not turning it's off and you will be hearing the cooling fan

Sounds to me like the lower element shorted and tripped the breaker as it burned out. If you're handy at electrical troubleshooting that's where I'd start - comparing ohmmeter readings between the bad element and the one that works.

A wire short to the chassis would have a similar set of symptoms and be easier to find and fix.

Beyond that, you need a service tech.

I Also have a wall oven by preway in a 1955 spartan trailer, basic same problem, I am told the control assembly that you turn to set temperature needs to be replaced, if it is adjusted to far on some part behind the controll knob it will screw up the new one also, Spencers appliance in Portland Oregon worked on mine years ago and was able to get parts, Good Luck

I am not sure how you tested the capacitor but your issue is a classic one for a bad capacitor. The second problem is not very clear. With that being said, the wire could be grounding somewhere other than the ignitor. Please clarify a little more and I will help you work thru this.

Might be a typo in the manual typically the latch is moved to the right to close and after clean is over move to the left to open. BE SURE TO REMOVE RACKS BEFORE CLEANING

Absolutly could of course be the EOC (electronic oven control) since it does control both the upper and lower over. Sorry for your luck but just because a part has a high failure rate that manufacture isnt required ti issue a recall as long as thier isnt a saftey issue such as potential fire or what have ye

I hope you have found already solution for this... Anyway this may help others: press buttons 1 and 2 together and release. Then use jog wheel to adjust time. Wait 5 seconds and you're done. Gorenje manual sucks, no info about oven controls. I managed even to set on oven child lock (key symbol), only way to take it off was to remove fuses from electric board of our house!

Hi, I understand your frustration, the manual supplied is next to useless! The 'obvious' settings appear NOT to work (as the grill remains on full heat setting all the time). The only way we've managed is to lower the food away from the grill..... not ideal I know - but also we don't use it for toast.
I suppose Hoover would be the next best port of call for assistance, oh for a proper manual, not a horrible generic one that attmpts to cover every model they produce - AND FAILS.
This is purchasers main complaint about buying Hoover ovens it seems.
I'll come back to see if anyone can supply a solution to our problem.... and hope it's not a fault in manufacture.

Hi -

I'm assuming this is an Omega/Creda Europa oven. All you need to do to make the oven work again is set the clock. The 0:00 and "AUTO" will stop flashing and the oven will work again. You didn't specify a model number, but you should be able to set the clock as follows:

1. Hold down the two buttons on the left-hand side under the clock display. One should have a symbol of a bell and the other, a symbol of a cookpot (not a cookpot and 'STOP').
2. While still holding both of these buttons, use the + and - buttons to set the clock to the correct time. The clock needs to be set in 24 hour format.

If this doesn't work, look for the buttons under the clock with the bell symbol and the cookpot symbol. Hold both of these buttons in and use the + and - buttons to set the clock.

If this doesn't work or your clock doesn't have these buttons, let me know and I'll check for other possible methods of setting the clock on Europa ovens. If you can find the model number it would assist me greatly. This should be on a sticker on the rim of the oven and can only be seen when the oven door is open - possibly at the bottom. The model number should be something like 40-1, 60-1 or 66-1.

If you can't find the model number, please let me know how many buttons there are in total below the clock and which symbols are written above each button and the order from left to right. I will then be able to provide the correct instructions for your oven.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
BElectric

If you have followed instructions properly, and cannot get it off auto. then you will need a new timer, alternatively, the timer can be bypassed
