    Hi I have an old Whirlpool akz 150 single oven. Set oven to desired temp on display. Eg 200 degrees is reached then display drops temp to 160 degrees. Fan/element is triggered back on for a couple of seconds then shuts off again. Clicking can be heard from the display/control module as this happens. If i turn temp setting back up to 200 it just drops straight back down again. After several attempts including opening door switching off etc it may hold the correct temp now and again. Cooling fan starts running soon after switching on and seems to run continuously. Don’t know if this is meant to happen.

    Any ideas please?

    Hi,
    I would first try re-soldering all the ribbon connections/plugs on the control unit and any relay pins. If no joy, change the sensor.

    Thanks for reply. Would that be the temperature probe sensor? Do you think the control panel could need replacing? Its probably about 17 years old! Is there any way to test the sensor? As you can probably gather I’m no expert but do like to fix things! I was thinking about stats etc so i guess i can rule them out from your reply?

    Thanks again in advance
