Hello len,
DO NOT NOT NOT,bipass the switch because the oven element could be down to earth and if that was the cause of the switch blowing and you link the wires BANG,FLASH WALLOP.
If you have a continuity tester, disconnect the 2 wires off the oven element touch 1 lead to 1 of the element connector & the
other one to a good earth on the product. Then do the same with the other element connector.
If you don,t get a circuit the element is not to earth, touch the leads to both element legs/as we used to call them.
to see if there is a circuit if not the element has blown and would be the cause of the switch problem as the internal contacts would have been blown apart.
Do these tests with the power off of course,
I stress once again DO-NOT bi -pass the switch until you have checked it is not an earth fault.
The reason I might sound like a know it all on Indesit products, I worked in the quality test lab for 25 years testing and repairing the
things. Until they took all production abroad and closed our factory.
If you think the price of the switch is dear wait till you ask for a quote for a hob ring.
I have a Creda Concept and my front right solar plate has blown. It will cost me £160. for a new one
I will get rid when other things start to break down.
