    Re: whirlpool cooker akg 668/av

    Does it have a cabinet cooling fan (usually located on top of the oven cavity at the back)? Does it spin freely? Is there power to it? Have you seen it running (or felt airflow from front of the oven above the door when oven is on)? The safety stat will usually cut out when the cabinet ‘overheats’ due to no airflow from this fan. Oven will go dead until cooled enough.
    First, check cooling fan motor and supply. On some ovens a small stat (n/o) runs it so check that en-route. (It will be wired to the cooling fan motor). The stat will switch the cooling fan in at a predetermined heat (40-50 degs). To run the cooling fan without heating the oven up, switch off mains, wire out the stat, then switch on mains again. When the oven is turned on, the fan will start immediately. This stat could be at fault.
    The circulation fan-failure safety stat is the one above the oven heat circulating fan; ie cooking fan. This is needed in case the circulating fan motor fails and the fan element gets too hot; it’s quite often a one-shot). Should test n/c.
    The safety stat for the cabinet is usually on top (or near the top at the back) of the oven cavity. It is also n/c. When the oven cuts out, switch off the mains and pull off the 2 wires and connect together. Switch on mains, and the oven should start up again.
    Hopefully this will help you find the problem!! 😉

    It’s a Stoves made oven 😉

    Is the cooling fan actually running ?

    Know it seems obvious, but are the air access ways fluffed up and is the cooling fan definitely coming in ??
    Might also be worth checking which way the cooling fan is rotating ( is it sucking instead of blowing….)

    Stoves oven eh?
    Had similar probs with a Stoves double oven with same type of fan set-up as yours late last year. Oven was fitted TIGHT into the cabinet, and when it was pushed back in, the back panel of the cabinet (cupboard) was flat with the back of the oven and the fan was suffocated – the centre of the fan was completely covered ie:- no air flow. It worked OK at the time of my visit 🙄 but I had removed it from the cabinet before I switched it on.
    Couldn’t find an obvious fault but it finally dawned on me what it was! 💡 💡
    Marked the fan position on the inside back of the cabinet and chain-drilled loads of holes in a circle. Then I removed the circle to leave a large hole through to the void left behind the cabinet.
    Refitted oven, unrestricted airflow, no problems!!!! 😀 Aren’t kitchen fitters great?? 😆

    Hope this helps,

    Steve.

    So, the fan isn’t running then ?

    It’s a 100ohm wirewound resistor, Stoves part number 081731300, less than a fiver normally 🙂

    Well on first examining of the cooker, it sounded like cooling fan working and also customer said it was but could not remove cooker as cable too short. Customer removed cooker, went back to day tested no fan working. The fan that i could hear was the loo extactor 😳 as this is fitted just behind the cooker housing and was being used when i tested the cooker first time. So thanks again
