Hi
I’ve just put a new element in my oven, I couldn’t find the right wattage, but I was told as long as it was the same size it didn’t matter if I went up in wattage (was 1500w now 2500w).
I Fitted this all ok, and turned it on set at about 100 deg , and the light came on as it should and went off when it got to temp but after a few mins I went to turn it up but it was already about 220 deg !!, so I turned it down to 50 deg and the element was still glowing red hot.
If the thermostat has gone why is the light still clicking on and off.Baumatic double oven and grill

Something else is not right there Ad.
The element on and off is controlled by the thermostat and, if that were faulty, you’re right it shouldn’t click on/off normally.
It actually sounds as if it’s been wired incorrectly and that the element is getting a constant feed.

Hi Thanks for your reply.
There was only two wires which on the element I took off, and when I put it back I think they went back on the same way round but I didn’t think it mattered which way they went.
I have rang baumatic and they seem to think that its the thermostat and control unit which all comes in one, they said thats all it can be as there is nothing else like relays involed.
So fingers crossed. 😕
