Title: Another problem!
Post by: Bigron on 17 May 2020, 21:26:22
Problems come not in single spies....
Now my combi oven has gone bozwonk, cutting out after 59 seconds (exactly) on any function, grill, convection or microwave.
It's a Sharp R958 - any ideas, gents?

Ron.

define "cutting out"
tripping the RCD on the fuse box (consumer unit)  :-\

synchronous motor for the turntable is very common on microwaves ,they get filled with water

It just switches off, Dave, as if it has finished its task. No sign of water spillage. It failed after my son accidentally pressed microwave with a metal trivet in it: he very quickly cancelled it, and then it went into this "sulk-mode".  :'(

It's surprising how many people microwave tinned soup. In the tin...  :D

    It isn't worth claiming on Household due to the excess!! For what they cost, just buy a new one..

Do you mean that if I went to a Liverpool pub I could get a "lorry-damaged" one for £5?  ;D

Sounds like a thermal switch kicking in, if you try to re-start straight away does it and then does it go for a similar time, or do you need to wait for it to cool down

It will re-start straight away, for a further 59 seconds. I have had the casing off but could not identify any thermal cut-out and the only fuse that I could see was the mains fuse on the input panel, which obviously was sound. SWMBO is giving me grief!  :(

Unlikely to be a thermal issue if it starts straightaway.

So when it stops, it just halts, or does it think the timer has finished and bleep showing period end?
Title: Re: Another problem!
Post by: Bigron on 18 May 2020, 14:49:31
It beeps as if timing is complete, and switches off.

That's not good, hints that the circuit board has an issue.

Have you powered it off, removed the wall plug, and left it for a period of time to hard reset the micro?

Yes, several times! It's not a total loss; I can still warm my coffee for 59 seconds....

 Blimey Ron are you that slow, you have to reheat coffee after making it with that new fangled electric kettle..

Yes, BG, because I have to listen to 'Er Indoors going on about something or other and my coffee cools down!  :(
