Re: Baumatic OSF60OVEn – No power to oven and grill
Hi Martin,
Not yet, I want to source the both components together if possible. Having said that, the Thermostat will be replaced as priority, the scorching is a certain sign of trouble.
Re: Baumatic OSF60OVEn – No power to oven and grill
Update:
I’ve now ruled out the thermostat I mentioned above as faulty. After removing it and bypassing it I discovered this thermostat controls the cooling fan, since the fan started up straight away when I powered up the cooker. This is logical in hindsight.I think the problem is the timer circuit board, possible the relay or what ever provides the 6vdc power to the relays coil. It’s difficult to check these components since access to the relays terminals is restricted by the digit display, also it’s covered with some sort of film which seems to insulated the terminals and makes continuity checking a problem.
As a temporary solution, I’ve bypassed the timer circuit and the over/grill heats up normally.
Now to try and find a new timer circuit board. Does anyone know where would be best to obtain one of these, or, a reconditioned one?
Thanks.Re: Baumatic OSF60OVEn – No power to oven and grill
Hello,
After tinkering a bit today, I tested the temperature control dial, I simply checked the continuity between the live and neutral and it appears to function ok i.e. there is continuity over the terminals when on.
I tested the continuity of what I think are the thermal overload cutout (TOC) thermostats, see photo below. And I discovered that one of these devices has no continuity across it.
I assume the TOC is at fault. Can anyone advise whether these things can stop working of their own accord, or if they stop working they’ve been triggered by a secondary fault?
Thanks,
G

Thanks for the quick reply Jackal.
The until is well and truly isolated, plug taken off to get the thing out of the unit.
Is there any way to testing the thermostat?
cheers,

Ha very true indeed.
I’ve had the top off to day and noticed some soot on a could of electrical connectors. There is a metal squarish tube with two sensors and a motor. one of these sensors has soot on a connector.
Any idea what these sensors are?
Re: Ariston Margherita has gone prakatan!
It seems to function quite normally for the first 5-10 minutes of the cycle. ie
1. Fills,
2. Tumbles and get frothy,
3. heats up,
4. abruptly halts.as an experiment I had the machine running on a spin only cycle with the pump stopper off. The pump was happily whizzing around.
I then tried a tumble dry cycle, again with the pump visible. it worked, the water has hot. I closed off the pump access, water was being pumped out (i had the discharge hose issuing directly in to the sink ) then roughly 5 mins later the machine abrupt halted.
I’ve also had the PCB out, it looks ok, no dry joints, no burn marks etc.
I was wondering if there is a blockage on a smaller hose causing a back up and triggering a sensor?
cheers.
Re: Ariston Margherita has gone prakatan!
I’ve replaced the pump but unfortunately I’m still encountering the same issue: The wash cycle starts normally, the grinds to a halt as the drum is not emptying.
Any other Ideas what could be wrong?
Re: Ariston Margherita has gone prakatan!
The drain hose certainly runs freely as I the kitchen floor discovered earlier on. I believe the waste pipe is okay nothing appears to be backed up.
Yes I had heard about Clive’s bad innings, I hope he makes a full recovery.
Re: Ariston Margherita has gone prakatan!
Hi Martin,
I’m glad to have made you chuckle. After my chuntering and ranting this afternoon I finally thought time for a little humour!
Ok, I’ve tried the spin cycle as directed (with pump cover off). The pump does indeed spring to life and spins for several seconds then halts. Interestingly the spin cycle has not advanced any further and the power LED is merrily glowing.
