I have a stove 61ehdo stainless Steele cooker which tonight has just stopped working I've had it approximately 7yrs . Oven rings etc won't turn on . I was in the middle of making dinner when this happened .? Before it turned off my husband came in and asked what was burning he could smell a plastic smell . I smelt this also just when I'd opened the oven . Is it a new cooker I need do you know or just a part . Any help would be appreciated

If you smelled a plastic burning smell you've burned some wiring somewhere. You would need to pull out the whole thing and start by looking at the back. I once had a dead mouse that had shorted across the relatively high voltage terminals common on most stoves. You should unplug the stove before doing anything like removing panels. Be very careful. Once you've found the problem you might need to call an electrician to fix it, depending on how brave you feel and where the problem is.

SOURCE: Gas stove top works, but oven does not.

The Kenmore 24-Inch Self-Cleaning Gas Oven 30472 features a low-maintenance self-cleaning feature and is offered at a fair price.
Many retailers offer only a limited selection of gas ovens for 24-inch cutouts, but Sears has a fairly good number of models to choose from. And the 30472 stands out because of the its price and the self-cleaning feature. Since most 24-inch models are so similar, you'll want to make finding the best price your priority.
The 30472 (Sears item 02230472000) built-in gas oven offers a feature set that is typical of ovens in this category. You'll find a modern frameless door design and a digital display. Most all products offered today have a built-in clock and digital timer, like this one. The interior light goes on automatically when the door is opened. As an alternative, you can switch on the light manually without opening the door. This allows you to take a peak at a cake or other food without any heat escaping.
As is typical, this model also offers a pre-heat signal. Unlike the ovens of yesteryear, when the selected temperature is reached, this model will alert you.
Offered here in white, this model also comes in black (30479), bisque (30474), or stainless steel with black (30473).
At an attractive price, the 30472 warrants some serious consideration because of the self-cleaning feature.

SOURCE: SMEG A21X-5 Freestanding Cooker: Main oven has smoke/fumes everytime its used!

usual cause of fumes is if the grill is in the oven, when for example a roast is done, fat spits onto the grill element and the circular element and smokes. if you leave it on, the smoke will clear. some ovens have a fat guard which clips over the grill in the centre of the back panel to prevent this.
to clean glass, just use scouring pads - glass is virtually impossible to scratch

SOURCE: Whirlpool oven door won't open.

You can try unplugging the over for a while and seeing if that helps. But if that doesn't help you will have to let the oven complete the cleaning cycle in order to regain use.

SOURCE: I used the oven at 425C for about 30 minutes,

your mostlikley correct on the buring wires. The only thing that can be done at this point is to unplug the machine and start tearing in to it to find the bad wires.

Touch control not working on aeg d98000 cooker

I'm afraid you have a bad board. I had a neighbor with the same problem and he had to replace just the stove top part. Hopefully, yours is just the temp setting part, but it may not be that if you can control the oven setting.

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 cooker which was working fine until we upgraded to the seventeeth edition consumer unit and rcds. Now I have a negative earth fault.Rcd trips out, circuit is fine up to the cooker. Any...

The clue will be when the rcd trips out. If everything is switched off on the cooker with the exception of the clock when you power it up and then it trips out, it could be in the wiring to the oven from the control switch and or the wiring in the oven. The only way you are going to find this is to take the oven out of the housing and test the wiring, isolating components until you find the problem.

MY STOVES COOKER'S OVEN AND GRILL HAS STOPPED WORKING?THE HOB IS WORKING FINE.

The hob is normally totally independent of the oven. What is actually working or not working on the oven? i.e. does the grill still work, is the clock OK and can you set it, or is everything totally dead?
