We replaced the clock/timer because it was constantly having to push the start button after cooking for about 20 mins. Now the new clock/timer won't even begin to heat the oven. What could be the problem? All the wires are hooked up correctly. The clock works and you are able to program the clock ok, but when you try to pre-heat the oven it won't at all. If you choose the clean oven it won't even begin that either. Any suggestions?

1/ I'm afraid I did not get it clear. Can you explain it more detailed?


2/ What it shows on the display?

Is there any way we can contact you directly and tell you what is happening with the stove?

Thanks Gene for your reply. When we installed the new timer, the clock worked fine and you were able to program it. But, when you turn the oven knob on to any temp. it never heats up. So, we put the old timer back in. It will heat up to temp. and stay cooking fine for about 20 mins. and then it starts beeping and you have to continually press the start button. It will only stay not beeping for maybe a few minutes. My husband last night just turned it off and then right back on and it would stay good for about 5 minutes and then start beeping again and then you have to press the start button again, or turn it off and then right back on. Also a code of F1 comes on the screen if you press and hold the start button for a while. Hope that explains things a little better.

What did it show on the display when you turned the oven ON with the new clock?

Did the surface burners work properly?

It didn't show anything on the display just the clock. When we turned on the oven to pre-heat it didn't heat at all. The pre-heat light was on and the light above the oven knob was on too. Yes, the burners worked fine. Weird??

Sounds like the new clock/timer is defective. Whoever sold it to you has to exchange it under the parts warranty.
