Cooker broke after lightning storm

[wolram]

Ever since a lightning storm (last week) my cooker will not go for more than 5 minutes, i set the power and 5 minutes later it sounds an alarm,
now i know it has a timer on it but i can not get it to disengage, the buttons i have are, minut minder, cook period, end time, manual, - and +, i have tried
all sorts of combinations but i can not kill the ***** alarm, and it is taking ages to cook any thing.

It's obvious your cooker is now hovering between two dimensions. I think I saw a show about something similar on the Outer Limits. I'd worry about eating anything out of it, you could start to "phaze" into another dimension.

Now you mention it i do get light headed when i am cooking, and there are these rumbling sounds

So there is no cooker experts here ?? it is a good cooker when it works.

wolfram? Is there any joke in that that I'm missing?
I thought pengwuino is an expert in everything regarded to food and eating...

I am usually good at fixing stuff but not domestic stuff, no jokes, the hob still works so i do not want to make things worse, there must be a sequence to press the buttons in.

I guess you have unplugged it and let it sit for awhile?

Yep, it must have lost power for maybe an hour when the storm struck, now it seems to be stuck in timer mode.

Have you tried unplugging it again? Sounds like some of the circuitry is fried though.

I am thinking the same, so i will be bringing some wire ect from work and start bypassing stuff until it does some thing, who needs a timer any way.

Here, the term 'cooker' implies a crockpot or steamer unit. What is it that you're referring to? Microwave, electric oven, hotplate...? And I have no idea what a 'hob' is.

Danger it is an electric oven.

Ah... should be quite simple to bypass the timer, then. Spring the half-quid or whatever for a little mechanical egg-timer if you don't have an alarm on your watch.

Well, it's the thing you "knob" with of course.

From Wollie's other kitchen disaster thread (he's starting to sound like Pengwuino), I've deduced that a hob is likely the stovetop burners, while the cooker is the oven part. Still waiting for the English to English dictionary to help interpret these threads.

You, do not need it MoonB And what other kitchen disaster

 

[wolram]

Oh, the fryer, that was just a hiccup.

That's not what your mom said. But, yeah, that's what I was referring to.

Ok, on tv, when some one (the hero) is dis arming a bomb, there is all ways a guy on a radio telling him whitch wire to cut first, second, etc, every bomb ever made has a coded blue print, (why), any way the wires to the control
(detonation circuit) in my cooker are all efing black and they go in diverse directions, so to trace them i would have to disemble the whole*****cooker, cookers should be designed by bomb makers
