Electrolux EOB5630X thermal cut-out fan motor wiring advice

[Pedro_Hernandez]

Hi All

My story starts at the end of november 2011, front panel of the cooker would get almost too hot to touch and resulted in it cutting out. I traced the problem to the ceramic chip encapsulated in a silicone sheaf(Thermal cut out), one of the wires had gone green and coroded through breaking the connection, if I bridged the connection the fan would operate as normal.

I found a replacement part for £15 delivered and proceeded to fit it, unfortunately the pictures I took on my mobile when removing the original are lost and I had no idea of the correct wiring procedure. I tried anyway from memory which resulted in a loud bang and very annoyed wife(1am in morning Xmas day !). Fortunately I just blew up the thermal cut out and not the oven which still operates normaly except for the cooling fan ofcourse.

If any one has any idea which wire goes wire I will be extremely gratefull if you could let me know, or if there’s any other 5630X owners who are going to be doing any work on thier ovens please take a peak and post a reply.

Regards

Peter

Sorry, I should of made myself fully aware of the rules before my first posting.

It was never my intention to solicit “proffesional” advice,or suggested non qualified owners of the the same cooker undertake “live testing” of any kind on my behalf.

However none of the five parts suppliers I’ve contacted know how it wires in or actualy make a point of listing on thier website they do not give wiring information or advice. I’m also having great difficulty just finding an engineer who will supply and fit the part once they know the original part isn’t still in place for thier reference.

I use a multimeter daily at work in my role as Electronics Technician and consider myself competent to carry out DIY repairs to my home appliances and have never had a problem untill now that is !,rather than sketching on a notebook I put my trust in my mobile phone ! 😥

Again my apologies for the rule break, theres no edit button or delete option showing on my original post,just checked the FAQ and once a post has been replied to a “normal” user cant edit it.

Regards

Peter

I spoke too soon, unlike the picture on the link, there is one white cable coming from the motor not two on my cooker.

However on closer inspection the bottom blue wire is a lot thicker and not the same as the one from the zn limitor.

So its possible that is correct and the wiring is a little differant on my machine as the clock display panel is not the same.

My cooker looks very similar in every respect apart from that.
and there is spade connector with a witness mark on it next to the orange wire on the center display/clock pcb, and on the left control the picture shows the ZN limitor blue wire going to the terminal above the yelow and white which is the same as mine. its just the spade terminal obscured by the zn limitor which I can verify but in all likelness its for the second white wire from the limitor.

Maybe it’s time to call an engineer with experience with Electrolux ovens and doesn’t need the old one to be in place for reference !.

Regards
Pedro

Any idea’s
