    I have a BOSCH electric oven & grill model number HBN131250B. The electricity tripped in my house & after the oven would not get hot. I checked the oven element & there was no continuity therefore I have ordered a replacement part. In the meantime I have been using the electric grill & I noticed that you could not adjust the temperature any more it was just on full. Today when I was using the grill the electricity tripped again & now the grill will not get hot & it appears that the element is slightly bent which I guess means it was getting too hot & has probably blown too? Would this indicate that the thermostat needs replacing?

    Is there anyway of checking the thermostat before I order one?

    if the grill element stayed hot even when the stat was on zero its possible the stat contacts welded when the main element failed

    stats not a bad price at £25

    Hi Dave,

    I assume by stat you mean thermostat? Is it possible to test the stat? There are various Youtube vids showing that you can perform a continuity test. Is this possible?

    Thanks.

    yes using a multimeter and sometimes you can hear it click as you turn it on and off in a quiet room
