Morphy Richards oven clock works but the oven will not start; pressing start does nothing.

Safety first: No internal access is needed initially.

Steps:

• Reset timer: Set the clock to the correct time. Then cancel any automatic programs by pressing the Manual or Hand symbol (varies by model) until the manual mode icon appears.
• Check child lock: Disable child lock as per the user manual (often by holding a specific button combination).
• Test start button: If the start button does not respond, the control fascia / keypad may be faulty and require replacement.
