Catford Appliance Care · Independent guidance

A message interrupts cooking.

For a cooker, the sequence of events matters. This general guide helps you describe the complaint before arranging suitable work.

What the symptom may mean

A message interrupts cooking may involve a timer state, control setting or recorded fault. An engineer assesses the actual appliance; a symptom alone does not identify a component.

Useful details from ordinary use

Record the complete message and whether heat stopped at the same time. Separate the selected programme or control setting from the result you saw or heard. Keep the exact display message if one appeared.

Find the product, safely

Find the rating plate only where safely accessible. State electric, gas or dual fuel and single, double or range format.

A cooker can contain several independent cooking systems. Tell us which oven, grill or hob section is affected.

Stop if it becomes unsafe

Do not remove covers, reach into moving parts or continue using an appliance with smoke, sparking, a burning smell, water near electrical parts or repeated tripping. Do not restart it to reproduce the problem.
