indesit fim31kaix grill problem

[ddirect]

hi wonder if anyone has come across this problem before. indesit fim31kaix grill heating up then turning itself off, I’m wondering would it be a stat issue or possibly grill regulator. any help would be appreciated.

is the cooling fan working ?

is it just grill that goes off or does the oven work after grill failed ?

just the grill goes off. I sat with it for about 20mins and it was fine, the lady then phoned me a little later saying she had put it on again left the door ajar and it went off. just to reiterate the customer says it does not affect the oven.

sorry forgot to say the cooling fan was working

[electrofix]

well to be honest its a simple unit so not much to go wrong

next time it fails as her to immediatly try the oven. the oven may not trip it but it still might not work when it goes off

Yes it is simple, but an odd fault. ill get her to check the oven comes on. or not. thanks for your input and the drawing,Dave

[ddirect]

customer has just tried grill again it went off. she switched it straight to oven and the oven worked. so now I still have no idea

[ddirect]

just leaves selector switch or grill regulator, would I be right, but which one on visual inspection they both look fine

[electrofix]

correct

narrows it down a lot , it means you have live on P1 of the grill reg otherwise the oven would not work

your down to 3 possibles

1 grill reg
2 grill element failing when its hot ( rare i know but you cant exclude it )
3 contact 5 – 5a on the switch

I had a similar problem once, it was the plastic sleeve that linked the selector switch to the oven stat. didnt see it first call. its worth having a look.
