Hi UKWG,
I have just won myself an ebay Zanussi ZCE7700X electric cooker. The seller reckons the thermostat has gone, and but says he’s been able to use it OK with an oven thermometer (I guess I’ll find out exactly how well that works in practice).
Other half will not appreciate the benefits of accurate cooking temperatures offered by a separate, dedicated, real oven thermomemeter, so I’ll just have to fix the oven. I can see there are a few replacement thermostats in the UKWG store that look like they’d do the job, but would appreciate confirmation as to suitability for this model.
My other question is: if you do have a few that will fit, which one should I go for?Re: Zanussi ZCE7700X – electric. Thermostat problem?
If you can find the PNC or product number from the rating plate that would be a big help.;)

Cheers, I’ll see if the seller find it / take a snap of that for me. whereabouts is it?

Usually behind the main oven door at the bottom but can be elsewhere.

Product number: 948522022
The Zanussi looks suspiciously like my old Tricity Bendix Strata (model: CS1E50rsv /product no: 948522105. Can I cannibalize that for any parts? The door seals look exactly the same (how do those come off?). Is there any chance the thermostats are interchangeable? Or even the main oven elements?Re: Zanussi ZCE7700X – electric. Thermostat problem?
Just checked and the main oven thermostats are different.
The one you need for your machine is a 3111622027.
Door seals are normally fixed by small hooks in each corner, they usually just pull out,elements do look the same.

Thanks for that, I’ll try and use the top oven seal from the Strat. Shame the thermostat isn’t compatible – what about the main oven element?
I’ve cleaned up the oven and switched on. Hob is fine. Got worried as neither of the ovens would work at first – tried setting the clock, got and rtfm, and that did the trick.
I’m not sure if I’ll bother replacing the main oven thermostat as £40 odd quid is alot right now, and it does work, although it’s under reporting the oven temp by about 40 degrees (at 150 on the control, the oven temp is about 190) . I’ll test it out across a few temperatures to see if it’s a consistent difference.
What I have noticed is that the fan oven doesn’t switch off when you open the door – should it? If so, is it an easy fix?
