Hi Old Les,

Glad you put me to rights, had forgotten so much 'till reminded. Not seen many thermistors in recent years, but there again, as only mend stuff that doesn't generally use 'em.

Will try get out more and find decent flour - Thanks, keep it up, will re-read my Mullard Data books, if I can still find 'em - Better than '50 shades', most folks say - Chris.

PS - Changed Varistors to Themistors eventually remembering they are quite a different beast.

Well, we baked another loaf in the "faulty" Panasonic SD-255 overnight, and all was OK.
As I said previously, I had found nothing amiss, so it was a bit of a mystery. There was just one thing I remembered, and that was its indicator LED was "ON", whereas it normally beeps about six times then goes quiet, but the LED flashes. When I removed the loaf today, I left the machine switched on, and five hours later, it was still flashing.
Conclusion: There must have been a temporary mains failure early within the final hour, long enough to discharge the memory capacitor, so the programme did not resume. I had made a point of ringing the local board, as I suspected this as it seemed to fit all the symptoms, but was told "no outages". Now I don't believe them.
Over the next weeks, I will monitor progress, but I am pretty sure!
Meanwhile, it would still be reassuring if a manual ever did come to light. Who knows, one day it may really fail.
OldLes.

Hi Old Les,

Guess mains powered clocks would have given the 'outages' game away - spent an extra day in bed after the last one when the morning alarm didn't fire - Missed BBC4's  'Sunday' where world might well have ended before I enjoyed my usual breakfast toast - Toast was still great - ever Optomistic - Chris.
