AN ELECTRIC AGA WILL STILL TAKE A CHARGE IF THE PCB IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY THE THYRISTOR(THE ELECTRONIC SWITCH) WILL STAY OPEN AND THE ECONOMY 7 TIMER IS BI-PASSED . AGA STATE THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN BUT THERE TECHNO'S KNOW IT CAN. THE OLDER MODELS CAN SUFFER EARTH LEAKAGE AS THEY ARE NORMALLY WIRED DIRECT FROM A 30 AMP FUSE WITHOUT A CIRCUIT BREAKER THE ELECTRICITY WILL SIMPLY DRAIN TO EARTH LIKE A LEAKING WATER PIPE WHEN THE CONDITION ARISES.THE RED LED ON THE FRONT OF THE PANEL WILL NOT LIGHT UP WHEN THESE CONDITIONS OCCUR,SO YOU ONLY KNOW ABOUT WHEN THE ELECTRICTY METER IS STUDIED OR YOUR BILL ARRIVES,MAINTANCE IS NOT THE ANSWER I SPEND LESS PER YEAR ON MY CAR MAINTANCE THAN MY ELECTRIC AGA COOKER AND ONCE YOUR MAINTANCE HONEY MOON IS UP YOU FIND YOURSELF THE TEST BENCH FOR AGA-RAYBURN!
