Possible Causes
Worn or burnt contacts in selector switch, Broken selector shaft, Loose wiring on selector terminals, Melted switch body due to overheating
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Isolate the cooker from mains before removing the control panel.
- Check knob and shaft: Ensure the selector knob is not cracked and that it turns the internal shaft. If the shaft spins freely without detents, the switch may be broken.
- Inspect switch contacts: Remove the control panel to access the selector switch. Look for burnt or melted sections.
- Test continuity: Using the wiring diagram, test the switch positions with a multimeter to confirm that the correct contacts close in each mode. Replace the switch if contacts are open when they should be closed.
- Rewire carefully: When fitting a new Belling selector switch, transfer wires one at a time to avoid misconnection.
