Electric cooker oven repair - replacing a broken selector switch

Its not that easy to test these but if its not working and you have tested the elements we can safely assume it needs replacing, its a very easy job in fact getting access to the switch is harder , in this i had to undo 3 screws holding the switch panel in place and remove all the switch selector knobs pull the switch panel free a couple of centimetres and access and remove the front 2 ceramic hob retaining screws, I then had to remove the ceramic hob holder brackets at rear of the hob and it pulls away just enough to give access to the rear and connect side of switches.

And this is where i start to photo what id did .


Buy cooker and oven spares from Ebay UK here 


Buy a good Multimeter here on Ebay UK 





So this is where the access for screws are on this cooker 
2 screw just undo them and screw with pull free from back hopefully
giving you enough room to check the terminations on the rear of switch unit 


ive pulled indicator lamp of here to save disconnecting it from switch 



here is the switch back and all connections best to photo it for 
replacement and to save issues and its also marked TOP so you know which way around it goes


there are 2 reds and 2 browns so i mark the second red and brown with black ink to
shwo me which ones are which and them basically go around and write down which 
wire colours go to which number terminal


So the double brown goes to terminal P1 an red 1 goes to terminal 2
and so on see how i wrote my terminations list in below photo


Once this is done pull the wires off and replace switch unit 

see video below of this entire process .
