Diplomat ADP5330 Not fully heating, different cut off temps

Re: Diplomat ADP5330 Not fully heating, different cut off te

when you say cuts of do you mean everything goes dead or just the heater goes of?
3 elements i belive
these are all gueses
stat is faulty and is over heating and everything is cutting out very rare

on this model bottom/or top element most likely blown on the conventional oven or door hinges are worn broken/or seal is dmg at bottom and missing letting to much air out.
if on fan oven the fan element gets to 200 or 180 then struggles to get any higher nm how long u keep it on going by the dial and neon never goes out , and its not burning everything and it still don,t seem to be getting hot enough inside then , i would say door not closing 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} tight or seal.

unless i misunderstood the fault hehe
i still think heat escape.

Hi Si,

What I’d do is this…

Ignore the oven thermostat and test it with a digital thermometer to see just exactly what temperature the oven was actually reaching.

Those machines are pretty basic in real terms so you have a main thermostat that controls the temperature in the oven itself that simply switches on or off dependent on the set temperature and a safety stat or two that shut it down if it overheats.

Is it possible that the oven is overheating and cutting out on the safety stat?

If so that’d indicate the main stat was faulty.

If not then it would indicate, most likely, that the oven wasn’t being cooled effectively either by the oven fan motor or the cooling fan motor (if one’s fitted, I haven’t checked) and again cutting out on the safety stat/s.

You have to remember that the safety cut out thermostats are simple, dumb devices that only do one thing, open at a pre-set temperature. So, if the cut out detects that temperature it simple opens and (usually) chops off the live supply to the element and/or whatever to get the oven to stop.

Heat loss is a factor, yes but not as big as you’d think and certainly losing heat wouldn’t cause and overheat stat to trip out. 😉

On conventional oven setting two elements should be on…one inside at the top and one below the base panel. The easiest way to check the lower element function is to switch on from cold, set the stat up highish and lay a hand on the oven base….you should detect the heat beginning to rise with your hand after only a minute or two.

The fan oven uses a third element behind the back panel but not the top or bottom elements.

If you’ve got heat on the base as well as the top element in conventional mode then the oven stat has to be prime suspect 😉
