    Please help, trying to DIY first to save much needed money. The oven suddenly won't start. Power light in photo 1 blinks once when trying to turn it ON on any setting.
    Fuse of the plug at the back is not the problem, nor is the main switch it is connected to.
    Any idea?
    Any easy part to replace any try?
    Photo of the back in case you can identify any other fuse please.

    My oven will not work if the clock is flashing 0.00. If the power goes off the oven will not work until I reset the click. Turn off main switch and then reset clock.

    As above, you need to set the time on the clock.

    That oven doesn't appear to have a digital clock (pic 3), so I don't think that is the issue.

    with the power off check if there is a small stat the size of a 5 cent coin fitted in the line in from between the terminal block at the back and the switches, most likely on the live(brown) line

    Thanks, do you mean between the block (wire attachment at the screws), and the electrical switch outside the oven? Everything is ok tried other appliances using the universial switch and cables.
    The thing is when trying to set a setting and turn the oven ON, the power light at the front flashes like a millisecond but oven doesn't turn ON.

    not sure of what you are describing as there are no switches outside the oven cabinet but the wiring layout on these type ovens is simple enough. live and neutral enter the back of the oven , brown=live blue=neutral, on the way up to the switches the blue is normally connected to one side of the element and continues up to the selector switch as does the brown. when the selector is rotated the contacts close depending whether oven or grill.as its the oven that has the problem when selector is set to fan oven position, the live is then transferred to the timer , when that is set it transfers to the thermostat and down to the other side of the oven element which completes the circuit for heating. the stat later breaks and makes the circuit on temp. so you have to find where the break is, start with a visual on the selector by removing it and see if the contacts are burned, they give a fair bit of trouble
