Re: AEG Oven turning itself off

i had the engineer out. cost £97.00 – £65 callout / 18£ for the part + vat

fortunately i stood there and watched him do it – and it was exactly the part specified in this and the other threads on this subject.

i see now (and it may be helpful for other people who read this thread) that access to the part is from the top of the oven – just pull it out of its housing and theres a plate with access. Of course ensure the mains power is off first.

he also mentioned that it was a common problem with this oven model.

Re: AEG Oven turning itself off

of course your absolutely right that i have never undertaken an oven repair before, and i can appreciate your position of not wishing to give detailed instruction.

however, i – just like you am blessed with a brain and the capacity to learn. if there was detailed instruction on how these appliances worked out in the public domain, then people like myself – with a degree of technical ability could perform repairs without being at the mercy of the professional and his/her call-out charge.

if the oven had had some unfathomable problem, i would have most likely called out an engineer straightaway – but you can appreciate that after diagnosing that the fault is a ‘screwdriver job’ im reluctant to pay the extra £65+ cost to have someone come out basically just because they ‘know’ which screws to turn.

thanks all the same for your help thus far .. and i may (hopefully) be back to order that part!

Re: AEG Oven turning itself off

thanks for the quick reply!

ive done some small repairs to electronic items in the past, although never done an over repair! what are the essential tools for carrying out a repair such as this one?

thanks in advance

Re: AEG Oven turning itself off

I have an AEG Competence B4100-1-A PNC 944-181-681

It is exhibiting exactly the same problem as outlined by people here .. Oven appears to function correctly, but after 15 minutes or so cooking, it clicks off, and stops working until everything has cooled down. The clock remains visible during this time.

If at all possible can anyone confirm ….

1) how i tell if the cooling fan is not running.

2) if the 8996619267611 Thermal cut-out kit is applicable to my model number

3) if there is some tech sheet on the web which would instruct me how to perform this repair.

Many many thanks in advance for any advice

regards
