Timer or clock display works, but oven will not start heating until timer is set.

Possible Causes

Mechanical timer set to OFF position, electronic timer not in manual mode, faulty timer contacts preventing power to thermostat

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work is needed initially.

  • Set timer correctly: On mechanical-timer Clatronic ovens, turn the timer knob to the manual or continuous-on symbol. On electronic models, ensure the timer is not set to delay start and that the manual mode is selected.
  • Test heating: After setting the timer to manual, select a cooking mode and temperature. If the oven now heats, the behavior is normal.
  • Timer contacts: If the oven only works when the timer is in certain positions, the timer switch contacts may be worn and require replacement.
