I went to a De Dietrich FM4827U21 double oven, replaced fan element and when the wall switch was flicked it promptly blew the 60Amp house fuse 😯
..a few days later when i returned with the house lights fully working again, i investigated and found the electronic board behind the main oven thermostat had a dead short and was pretty much destroyed!
Anyone had this? what kind of price do these parts cost…or should i just run away??Thanks
RayEhm, not to bad normally is the short answer , usually in the kinda £100 area but until you change the main board you can’t see what else is up with it. They’re a PITA they really are.
But that’s one of the joyful ones with the lock that fails for pyro on the top oven as well as the split clock/control unit and the comutator switches designed in hell. 😕
I had a neighbour that had one of these same ovens and, stupidly, I mentioned that we were the agents at the time. Dear God was that a mistake! I never did get the clock to keep time or stop it clicking nonsense despite my best efforts and help from Brandt technical. The oven would also, for no apparent reason simply shut itself off, it was horrid.
Funnily enough I have one now overheating constantly in warranty (different machine) with almost ever concievable component replaced. I’m sure the things are cursed!
If you ever see an FM4942 (IIRC), it’s an electronic control double under oven… run for the hills!
Remember I mentioned Holy Water….
