Cooker And Oven Forum

The above appliance is failing to get to temperature. Thermostat on unit trips off as temperature on dial turned down from 200°C to ca 50°C. Independent thermocouple shows oven is at ca 60°C. Had new thermocouple fitted 3 years ago which solved overheating problem.

Two questions :
1. Is it likely to be the heating element at fault ?
2. If so, is a new element still available (cooker ca 15 years old)?

Thanks in advance.

Most likely a thermostat problem. Can't answer the other questions without the model number........

Thanks for the prompt reply. On further inspection (removing the back panel in the oven compartment) I can see the element has now completely burnt through (essentially now in 2 halves) so I shall try to get a replacement. It looks like a couple of spade terminals are used to connect it to the power supply. The model no. is 48147S if anyone can advise a source for a replacement element (not sure of the wattage on it though).

Once again,. thanks in advance.

ELEMENT

Thanks. New element ordered. Just hope I don't lose the connecting wires in back of oven when changing !
