AEG/Electrolux Cooling Fan Initiation Thermostats

[J0KER]

Browsing through this forum have come across numerous versions of same fault i.e. Oven operating for a short while before cutting out and then restarting after a cooling period. All down to same component (cooling fan initiation thermostat) isn’t it time the manufacturer claimed responsibility for this sub-standard component???

My advice is leave AEG/Electrolux on the shop shelf.

Not at all. The safety cut-outs do fail quite regularly. The fan cut-in stat is generally reliable.

Think you will find that the cut outs dont fail, infact they work so well the cooker cuts out pretty fast if the initial device is, as often they are on this range, burnt out. Repeat failures are rare however so the device may have been improved.

If 2 moderators can’t agree that:-
1. Safety devices are reliable ?

I say again leave AEG/Electrolux on the shelf until the manufacturers accept their responsibility for a sub-standard component which they must be selling by the thousands at close to 20-00 pound a shot . In the same time I have had to replace the oven bulb I have had to replace this component. If AEG/Electolux accept their responsibility they would have improved this component long ago.

Service Force quids in!!

Wrong. Absolute pot luck what an Independent repairer will be faced with on a daily basis. I have never had to replace a fan cut-in stat, have replaced numerous cut-outs. Eastlmark’s experience is obviously different.

Bear in mind that part of the number of postings is generated purely by Google or other search engines. You could, for instance, type in “Smeg E2” or “Diplomat dishwasher” or “Fisher and Paykel fault” – you will come straight here. Due to the specialised, unique nature of this site, the great majority of posts here relate to problems which people encounter – therefore it is not a viable proposition to castigate any single manufacturer for it’s product quality based on the small, specialised and biased sample which will be found on this forum.

Electrolux manufactures millions of ovens worldwide under various brand names, many of which you’ll never have heard of, across the world. 4{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of them will fail in some manner in the first year, just like any other manufacturer. There is no statistically significant problem to be identified here – only Lux can truly answer the question – if they choose to……..

For the record, I have no connection to, or official dealings with Electrolux, beyond buying their spare parts. I have a problem with their pricing policy, but that is not relevant to this thread.
