Diplomat oven ADP 4610

Thanks for the update Dave and glad you got some time away.
I replaced the burnt cut out with a new one and the ” normal oven” top and bottom plates heat up and appear to work as normal along with the cooing fan tripping in about 80-90°.
I then let everything cool down and tried the setting with fan oven selected and again top and bottom started to warm up but rear fan area stayed stone cold.
I next intend to check the rear coil plate with the multimeter to see if it has popped which I didn’t do when i replaced the cut out. You may virtually slap me on the back of the head.
Is there anything I should check after I check the coil (fan spins as normal on fan setting). Thanks for the input, Jim

if fan spins but not heat element is the first place of call

Hi all, sorry I haven’t posted back , unfortunately I had a bit of bad luck requiring my right leg being put into plaster from a tumble out walking. And no, I didn’t have rabbit for my tea but if I see it again it will end up in the pot.
I shall get back to the oven near the end of this week as pulling it out onto the kitchen table is a wee bit awkward at the mo
I did check the fan ring and did get continuity with selector switch off then 230 volts after turning temp switch up. For the moment we are using the standard oven set up ( top and bottom elements ) after I replaced the 80°c cut off and is a least giving us use of the oven. Thanks for the help again all.

“I did check the fan ring and did get continuity with selector switch off then 230 volts after turning temp switch up”
dont quite know what you mean. continuity tests are made with a 9v meter

Sorry, I checked the ring with multi meter resistance and it showed no break in ring element and then I switched to boost setting and meter to AC and powered on oven. At that point no voltage showed up until I turned up the temperature dial. The meter immediately showed 230 volts.
Sorry for the confusion Dave.

thats is more confusing

if you resistance across the element and you got 240v across it when on, then it should work

did you check the resistance with one wire disconnected to elimanate any other components altering the reading

Ah, that I did not do so I shall check that out next time I pull it out. Again thanks for the delay help Dave.
