Hi Charles,

Thank you for providing those details. We appreciate your patience as we work through this issue with your Indesit FID20WH Cooker Oven.

Without photographs or video documentation of the wiring in question, we're unable to confirm the specific configuration you've described. However, we can offer some guidance on how the timer mechanism typically functions on this model.

The timer on your cooker is likely equipped with one or two relays that manage power distribution to the main oven. When the timer is set to automatic mode, the oven will only activate and deactivate at the times you've programmed. This is an important distinction, as it may prevent the oven from operating outside of those scheduled windows.

Please ensure your timer is switched to manual mode if you want the oven to respond immediately to your heating commands rather than waiting for a programmed cycle.

Regarding wiring diagrams: unfortunately, the manufacturer does not release these schematics for public use, and they are extremely difficult for us to source independently. If you need detailed wiring information, your best option may be to contact Indesit customer support directly, as they may have additional resources available to registered owners. you will need the wiring configuration for the selector switch 

We've included some video resources below that may help you understand the general operation and troubleshooting steps for this model.
