Start with the sequence
For this Caple cooker complaint, note whether the whole cooker or only one section is affected. Record the last normal stage and the first change. A short description of that sequence is more useful than a guessed part name.
What might explain it?
The cooker controls do not respond can involve clock state, control locks or a supply issue. Those are possible areas for assessment, not a confirmed diagnosis or a claim about a particular Caple model.
Compare the selected setting with the result you actually observed. Mention whether other functions on the same appliance still operate. Avoid repeated resets, bypassing locks or testing internal components.
The Caple identification matters
Find the rating plate only where safely accessible. State electric, gas or dual fuel and single, double or range format.
Confirm the actual installed appliance and model before discussing work. This is an enquiry library, not a list of currently sold products or guaranteed repair support.
A display code only has meaning alongside the exact product and its documentation. Photograph the full message rather than looking up a similarly named model and assuming it uses the same code system.
Before a visit for this complaint
A cooker can contain several independent cooking systems. Tell us which oven, grill or hob section is affected.
Give the full address postcode, not just Catford or SE6. Appointment availability, the repair approach, charges and any parts requirement are confirmed individually.
