    Re: leisure roma stopped working

    OK, it took time but wasn’t too bad in the end. Hardest bit was getting into the cooker in the first place. As described elsewhere, I had to take off the back panel behind the fan oven (yes, first making sure the cooker circuit was turned off of course!) to access the thermal fuse itself. I also had to remove the glass lid and the top plate (via the burner screws) to access the other end of the wire behind the clock. Then just a question of threading out the old wire & threading in the new one.

    Re: leisure roma stopped working

    Thanks K – I’d seen the photos, it’s just that they’re not very clear (one is only 56×56 pixels!).

    My problem is that it’s not a straight swap from one thermostat to another, it’s swapping a thermal fuse to a thermostat. Further, my existing thermal fuse is mounted so that the bracket is horizontal, and the fuse runs through vertically. The two larger photos (“correct”/”wrong”) show the bracket pointing up or down, i.e. neither are like what I’ve got at present!

    I guess I’m going to have to wait until the new part arrives and then see what’s in the fitting kit…

    Hi,

    Looks like I have exactly the same problem (fan oven and clock suddenly stopped working on a Roma Leisure 100 RM10FRS).

    It’s got one of the old style thermal fuses, which you can’t obtain now – only the new safety thermostat.

    How easy is it to replace one with the other? Do instructions come with the replacement part? It looks like one end of the thermal fuse is wired into the terminal block on the rear panel, where the main supply comes in. However, the other end disappears up into the insulation… not sure how far!

    Thanks,
    Dave
