How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate the oven from mains before accessing the control fascia.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Attempt reset: With power on, try to reset the clock according to the user manual. Some models require a valid time to be set before heating is allowed.
- 2. Power cycle: Turn off power for 5–10 minutes, then restore and set the time again. If F17 persists, proceed to hardware checks.
- 3. Inspect clock module: Remove the control panel and locate the clock/timer PCB. Check for burnt components or loose connectors.
- 4. Replace timer module: If there is visible damage or the timer does not respond, replace the Hotpoint-Ariston clock / timer module. Transfer wiring carefully, matching each connector.
