Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate the appliance from mains power before removing any panels.
Check the top oven heating circuit:
- Identify whether your Leisure model uses a roof element, base element, or both in the top oven. Remove the inner panels to access the elements.
- Visually inspect the elements for splits, burn marks, or deformation.
- Access the rear of the cooker and locate the corresponding element terminals. Check for loose or overheated connectors.
- Test each element with a multimeter for continuity (typically 20–60 Ω). Replace any open-circuit element with the correct Leisure top oven element.
- If elements are good, remove the control panel and inspect the top oven selector switch and top oven thermostat. Look for burnt contacts or melted plastic.
- Test continuity through the selector switch in the top oven positions. If contacts are not closing, replace the selector switch.
Warning: The control panel area contains live mains connections when powered. Do not work in this area unless power is fully isolated.
