DAU074069 Genuine Multifunction Oven Timer Blue for De'Longhi Ovens, Oven Clock and Cooking Timer Replacement

Listed as the MFP timer in blue, DAU074069 is a genuine oven timer supplied under De'Longhi's DAU parts numbering. Oven timers like this run the clock and minute minder, and on many ovens they also need to be set before the oven will heat. No models are on file, so match the number on the back of your old timer, and check that its display or buttons are blue like this version.

Oven clock blank, flashing or oven won't heat?

On an oven with a programmer, the timer does more than tell the time. It can control automatic start and stop cooking, and it often holds the oven in manual mode so the elements are allowed to switch on. A faulty timer may show a blank or garbled display, flash constantly after a power cut, ignore button presses, beep without stopping, or leave the oven cold even though the fan and light run. Moisture and heat from the oven are common causes of failure.

Fitting the oven timer

Ovens are usually hard-wired, so a licensed electrician should fit this timer with the circuit isolated at the switchboard. The control panel normally needs to come off, which may mean sliding a built-in oven out of the cabinet. Photograph every wire and terminal on the old timer before unplugging anything. Once it's fitted, set the clock and manual mode, then confirm the oven heats.

Questions about this part

Why does my oven need the timer set before it heats?

Many ovens with a programmer default to an automatic or locked state after the power comes back on. Until the clock is set and manual mode is selected, the timer won't let the elements switch on. If yours can't be set at all, the timer may be faulty.
