1. does it matter which way the prongs go? I couldn’t see a + or – and the green dot on the new stat was in a different place. Tried to match as best as I could.

2. one of the pictures looks like the insulation has burnt. But I think this is actual grease from the oven as it’s also on the backing plate. Is this something to be concerned about?

3. What’s the best way to safely test that the stat is actually working? As with the prongs disconnecting and connecting the prongs results in the same result of the fan staying powered off until an oven mode is selected. Whereas on the old stat as soon as the oven was plugged into the mains the fan would spin.

.

1 prongs go anyway round its just a switch so it does not matter

2 yes your correct, insulation cant burn as its glass. discolouration is just fat from cooking

3 ok make sure you have correct stat, disconnect one wire. make sure it cant touch and switch oven on and make sure it still operates. if yes then order and fit new stat.

which means in my opinion your probably looking at a board problem as the motor is not energised for 8 minutes. if the motor had tried to start it may have been a capacitor

have a careful look in the filter housing. the first step in the housing is the seal we are interested in. check for debris, small stones etc

after thet you probably have not got it locked in enough

beware there are 2 timers listed depending on serial no

the way its written is a bit confusing

dont know the cooker but from above its got 6 gas burners. the 4 right hand ones work ok but the left 2 dont

were they faulty before you cleaned it ?

did they both go faulty at the same time ?

Dave

[electrofix]

well either moisture is getting in or for somew reason the defrost cycle is not clearing it

fridges are not my strong point so dont know why

Dave

[electrofix]

well looks clear around defrost heater unless you have cleared it

are you sure there is no way the door can be left slightly open by accident ?
