Beko cooker timer won't let the oven come on
Bought a Beko cooker (EDG506W) 6 months ago and I think the programmer needs setting to manual or the oven won't start, and I can't work it out. Would really appreciate any advice before I fork out for a callout.

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Beko EDG506W oven locked out by timer/programmer setting
- The problem
- The oven would not start on a Beko EDG506W, and the question was whether the timer/programmer needed to be set to manual.
- Likely cause
- Most strongly supported diagnosis was that the clock/programmer was in automatic mode, unset, or flashing after a power interruption, which can prevent the oven from operating. It was also noted that if manual mode was correctly set and the oven still did not heat, the fault could instead be with the timer, selector, thermostat or ignition system, but this was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Set the clock correctly if the display is flashing, cancel any automatic cooking programme, and return the programmer to manual so the hand/manual indicator shows or the AUTO indicator goes out. Exact button sequence may vary by timer version. No completed repair or user confirmation was provided.
- Checks to try
- Check whether the display is flashing
- Set the current time on the clock/programmer
- Check for AUTO, A, or hand/manual symbols on the display
- Cancel any automatic cooking programme
- Try returning the programmer to manual mode
- If still not heating, consider timer, ignition, thermostat or selector fault
Safety: Isolate the cooker from the mains before any internal inspection. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

On many Beko cookers, if the clock/programmer is set to an automatic cooking mode or flashing after a power interruption, the oven can be locked out until the timer is put back to manual.
Try these checks first:
1. Set the clock correctly If the display is flashing, press the clock/timer button and set the current time using the + and - buttons. On a lot of models the oven will not work until the time is set.
2. Cancel any automatic programme Look for symbols such as “AUTO”, “A”, or a pot/hand symbol. If “AUTO” is showing, press and hold the relevant timer/program button, then use the - button to clear the programme. On some Beko timers, pressing two buttons together brings it back to manual.
3. Put the programmer onto manual Usually you need the “manual” hand symbol to appear, or the “AUTO” indicator to go out. If there is a button with a hand symbol, press that. If not, try pressing and holding the cooking time and end time buttons together for a few seconds, then adjust with - / +.
4. Check the user guide panel markings The exact button sequence varies slightly by timer version, even within the same model range. If you can post a photo of the timer/display and buttons, it would help narrow down the exact sequence.
5. If it still will not heat If the clock is set and manual mode selected but the oven still will not come on, the fault may not be the programmer. It could be an ignition, thermostat, selector, or timer fault.
Isolate the cooker from the mains before inspecting anything internal. For any mains electrical, gas, or internal cooker repair, use a properly qualified engineer. If you upload a clear photo of the timer, I can probably guide you more precisely.
