AEG Electric oven – grill turning off after a while.

[treebs]

The oven in a house I have recently bought is not working properly. The oven part seems to be fine but whenever I use the grill it turns off after a while. I searched the forum and noted the common problem with the fan cutout switch. I have replaced this and it hasn’t made any difference. I have also tried swapping the white wires over. The replacement part had no markings on either wire.

Should the fan come on straight away? I cannot hear it or feel any air movement apart from a little bit of heat when it is on. I have also tried spinning the fan from above with the panel removed. It seems to move freely.

The details of my oven are:
Model number U41116
Type No 91E1D01KD
Pro No 944171457 01

I would be very grateful if anyone could help. Also I have a relative who is an electrician. He will change parts but he isn’t experienced with ovens and such. Its more of me asking him to change a specific part which he will do.

Thanks in advance.

when you say you swapped the white wires over. It looks like it has black wires to me.

I meant the white wires coming from the part labled “ZN limitor”. This seemed to be a common problem from what I have researched.

swopping wires wont cure it fit a new one

its a thermal relay that turns the fan on after a few minutes and let it run on after the oven is turned off

What is the part number of the part you have replaced?

Thanks for the help. The part number of the item I have replaced is 3872079029. Just to be clear I replaced it and it still didnt work. I think tried swapping the white wires over.

I would check the continuity of the fan motor next.

agree with bazza provided you have not made a wiring mistake in fitting the new one

just to clarify

2 wires feed a heater inside the switch (in your case you have connected the white wires )
the other 2 wires are a switch (blue wires in your case) in other words if you joined up the 2 blue wires the fan would run all the time

i dont know if you have the colours correct but i think you have correct connections

1 things to help
since the unit has a small heater it will get warm when energised
