Are all cooker stats the same calibration?

[bobokines]

Can anyone tell me if cooker oven thermostats are usually all calibrated the same? Most dials show the 9 oclock position as 250degrees C. The description of some stats include 25-315C, is this the minimum and max temperature?

I am trying to find a good generic fan oven stat to carry as a van stock item.

Instinct would say definitely not….

Most stats seem to have different maximum temperature settings although many are similar, but of course the phial is of differing lengths and sizes.

Have a look at Kitchen Economy…I carry a TS124 and a TS125 on van stock and these seem to fit around 30{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of fan ovens, mainly the bottom end stuff, but useful nonetheless 😉

Spares suppliers of cooker bits, I don’t have details fro them but they’ve been about a long time and someone will.

I think they used to do recon cookers as well, no idea if they still do.

They keep a good range of gen and non-gen cooker spares and have always been a pleasure to deal with.

I have found that the three following configurations will fit most of the single built in ovens which most customers now seem to have. These are

Scale (1) – 20 to 250deg (temp) with rotation of 0 – 270deg
Scale (2) – 20 to 250deg (temp) with rotation of 0 – 310deg
Scale (3) – 50 to 320deg (temp) with a rotation of 0 to 310deg.

Most use a 6mm “D” spindle 25mm long – (Flat to the top when off) and M4 X 28mm fixing lugs.

Scale (2) seems to be predominant on continental ovens.

Many suppliers will give the temp range in thier spec and sometimes an e.g.o number.

If this begins 55.13 or 55.18 or 55.19 then it is an 0 to 310 deg rotation.

If 55.17 then it is an 0 to 270deg rotation

If you can source a cheap (£5 – £6) scale (1) and (2) these will fit most ovens in my experience and any small differences in temp limits are irrelevent over the range in actual use.
