One of my electric oven's hobs comes on every time I switch it on at the wall. I'm a lazy bastard, and I've put up with it as it's ok if I'm doing stuff on the hob, but otherwise is getting pretty annoying. How do I fix this? Is it as simple as just replacing a fuse?

Blowupologist posted:So you have a wall switch that turns your oven on and off? What about the switch controlling the burner itself? No, the dial controlling the specific hob doesn't matter, the element just comes on every time I turn the power on to the entire oven.

Sapper posted:Probably a bad potentiometer in the dial, allowing the circuit to be closed all the time. You can probably get a replacement pretty easily, and if you're lucky the wires will be screw mounted on it, not soldered. Either way, you'll have to pull the instrument panel for the stove apart, which shouldn't be too difficult. Thanks, I'll have a fiddle around with it today and find out. The temperature doesn't seem to change, but I'll find out for sure then.
