Zanussi oven troubleshooting
Zanussi oven not heating up
There are typically three main faults that can cause this issue. It can be related to the clock/timer being incorrectly set – it needs to be on the manual setting. If you can hear the fan running and the thermostat light is on this indicates that the heating element is defective.
When your oven is turned on and the circuit breaker trips the switch, this points to a problem with the fan oven element which will need replacing.
Zanussi oven door falling off
If your Zanussi oven door falls off this could be due to a fault with the bottom support hinge. New hinges may need to be installed. Occasionally the small pin in the top hinge will shear off and break, or oven clips can wear and also result in the door coming away from the frame.
Zanussi oven light not working
If the light won’t work in any heating mode and the bulb looks dark it’s quite likely that the bulb has blown and will need to be replaced. If the light is getting power, but the oven light is still now working this indicates that the light socket may be defective. This too will need replacing.
Certain functions may prevent the oven light from working as these are low energy options. Saving energy this way will apply to moist fan baking, humid hot air, EcoSteam, Dough proving, and other Eco programmes. In these cases, this isn’t a fault.
Zanussi oven grill not working
If your grill isn’t working this could be a fault with the thermostat causing overheating. Another culprit may be the element, which could be broken or worn with age. Grill elements are brittle and are prone to damage. They’re located inside the oven and if faulty will need to be replaced.
How to reset Zanussi oven
If you have a digital display you need to set the clock before operating the oven function.
Resetting your Zanussi oven is done by:
- Turning off the power source for one minute
- As the power reconnects the clock icon will flash
- Set the time by using the +/- buttons.
Resetting the clock on a Zanussi oven with rotary dials involves pressing the clock button until the clock symbol appears on the display. Then you can turn the temperature knob to set the hour. A command wheel requires turning the dial to the menu to locate the reset option.
