HOTPOINT HUE 61XS heating issue

[creon]

the main oven on my hotpoint refused to warm up, given its only 3 years old i was not too pleased.

the fan comes on but no heat or thermostat light.

I have since changed the element with a genuine item and the oven will now heat up, but no thermostat light.

Can it be confirmed that one of the oven thermostat is not working thus causing a failing element.

I changed the element myself but might take it to an engineer to diagnose and repair the stat issue if there is one.

if the oven is heating and not overheating then it sound like all you have is an indicator light problem

if you had a stat problem it would be too hot or too cold

‘it sound like all you have is an indicator light problem’

possible, i havent fully tested the new element due to lack of time, it heated up.

tomorrow ill crank it up to see if it the temperature is controlled.

the ring indicator light does flash as if though a loose connection but it still operates as normal. there is also a switch on the oven door and the door catch is getting rather ‘loose’.
