Beko DVC6631 – Grill won’t work. Have done element.

[peeps]

Hello all, we have a Beko DVC6631, fan main oven and top oven / grill, halogen hob. The main fan oven element went, which I replaced and that now works fine, at the same (ish) time I had to replace the door catch pin and its receiver catch in the frame… so there’s been a fair bit of dismantling, been on its side etc. The top oven grill element now doesn’t work – so I’ve just replaced the element thinking all that joggling about must have killed it – but still doesn’t work. Any ideas where / what next? As far as I can see there are no wires off at the back… 😥

not pulled a wire off the terminal block have you?

thats the usual suspect

OK, I have checked the terminal block – no wires off that I can see – any further suggestions folks? Light doesn’t work either, so I assume the whole circuit is not getting power – I swapped the main oven and top oven bulbs to check the bulb is OK, which it is. As I said before – the main oven and hob both work fine.

theres an inline thermal fuse on the neutral side, going to the selector

youll see the wire, its got a red sheath on it, and is usually clamped to the oven cavity
start there, and work back

power off, of course

Thanks – found the thermal link (on white wire running from the mains inlet block up over the ovens towards the control panel) clipped to the bottom oven back – it is live OK on both sides. There is another one on a grey wire which comes from the bottom oven element (which works…) then goes up and over presumably to the control panel too. It is live on the element side but dead on the other side off the link – tried again (yes carefully) with the rings and both ovens turned to on – still dead on one side. Would this be the culprit and are they obtainable?
Thanks for your time reading this people!

OK – it’s deffo the second thermal link. I bridged it temporarily and it worked. The link has no readable identification on it – looks like it did at some point….. 🙁 It has a red marker on the end – does anyone know if this indicates the blow temperature? Anyone know what temperature one should be fitted? Maplins carry stock…….. 😀

EDIT had a look at the other one, it has the same red mark – and a faily legible 144c at the bottom. I presume this means 144 degrees celcius?

just for or any future readers of this thread (there was no reason to test this live) all you need to do is to test it with a multimeter, all of us engineers have had a fair share of shocks and we know what we are doing, so please be safe unplug and test.

Yes – note to self – buy a multimeter!
Replaced the thermal link and all working as intended now. Thanks for input helo_75! I DID talk to myself too..

(Slopes off to deal with frizzy hair and shakes…..) only joking!
