Creda C366e – Main Oven Element Permanently On

[Rbz5416]

Cooked dinner tonight & when returning the dishes to the kitchen, it was hot in there. Turns out that despite the oven having been turned off, the element was glowing red hot. Powered off at the wall to let it cool down. Just powered on & again it immediately started heating with the element glowing after a very short time. Don’t think I’ve ever seen the element glow in normal use. The fan doesn’t run unless the oven control is turned, same with the light.

Thoughts please?

it will be a switchgear problem behind the knob

Thanks Dave.

As is usual for everything I try to DIY, what I have doesn’t match what I can find online. From a previous adventure with the timer I have a parts diagram, which shows the switch pack in two parts. The main switch appearing to be 6201383, which I have.

What’s actually fitted to the cooker looks nothing like that. It’s actually part ET510001/J5, which seems to largely be described as a complete thermostat for Cannon. But I’ve ordered it anyway so we’ll see what happens!

Here’s the model plate. Judging by what looks like a date code on the thermostat it looks to have been built in 2004. According to another spares site the ET50001/J5 was fitted from “Date code 26” but no idea how that relates.

date code 26 should be feb 04

hotpoint site shows this as correct for your model

Thanks, the date ties in with the date on the part. That Hotpoint part looks the same as what I’ve ordered from you, so should be good.
