Need help fixing an oven

My dad could use some help!

Thanks guys

 

No there's usually no circuit breaker as they draw too much current and if there was it would cut power to the whole cooker,if its a programmable oven it may not work without the display so it may only be the display panel that's broken.

If it was just a digital clock then there no power is getting to the oven section,I'd take it apart,plug it in and get your test meter out and start checking for 110v from the plug backwards.

 

Its the digital clock and the oven part. The only thing that works is the cooktop.

 

I know,when I said 'just a digital clock' I meant instead of a programmable timer not if the clock was 'just' broken read my last post again dawg:-D

The clock and oven are obviously on the same circuit,fix one fix them both.

 

Check the breaker at your house breaker panel. Being a stove it is 220v, and may be two breakers tied together. One side can trip and not the other. If they look ok then reset both breakers anyway. It is likely there is a fuse panel on the stove, often under a flip up panel above the controls. I don't know how old this is but many have screw-in type fuses under this panel.
What Rikky is saying is if the timer is screwed up it may not be allowing the oven to start. Throwing the breaker may resolve this.

 

Ah, I get it now.

 

I worked on a GE stove with a digital clock and had to replace the relay. The contacts were badly burnt. The relay in this GE is a plug-in model making it an easy change.

Your Hotpoint having a digital clock may have a relay. Check that out.

 

Just took off the cover to the GE. There is a glass fuse. Unplugged the fuse and it cuts the power off to the step down transformer that powers the digital clock and the relay for the oven. Our problem was the clock worked fine, but no heat in the oven. That was do to the bad relay.

Not saying the Hotpoint is going to have the same setup, but it's worth checking into.
