    will be the bearings in the motor

    my computer does a similar thing albeit a lot quieter. when it starts is noisy, I wait 3 mins and hit the case. silence results

    looks like an old style hydraulic stat. these are meant to come on at plus 2 degrees but it can creep up with age

    prob just needs a new stat but can never be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}

    Well you say ignition sw wont fit shaft, does that mean shaft is a different size and if yes does the knob fit ?

    have found service manual but it does not picture the stats

    does give list of installation instuctions but i assume before stat changed


    Dave

    H) Thermostat (Main Oven)
    See A) Lid & Spring Assemblies 1 – 2 and
    See B) Access to Hob and Facia Components 1 – 9.
    1. Remove the lower rear panel by removing the black screws. The rear panel can now pivot on the
    hinges on the rear left hand side allowing the rear panel to swing open, without having to disconnect
    the wires from the mains terminal block.
    2. Remove the main oven rod shelves and meat tin from within the oven cavity.
    3. Unclip the thermostat phial from the 2 clips within the left hand side of the oven cavity and feed the
    capillary tube through the oven rear.
    4. Whilst holding the tap firmly in one hand the Bundy tube can be disconnected from the thermostat
    assembly by use of a 15 mm spanner.
    5. Slacken and remove the screw through the saddle brackets which secures the thermostat
    assembly to the gas rail.
    6. Remove the thermostat and microswitch assembly after feeding up the capillary tube from the rear
    of the oven cavity to the top of the appliance.
    7. Unclip the cotter pin locating the microswitch assembly complete with wires from the thermostat
    spindle.
    8. Reassemble in reverse order making sure a new sealing washer is used.

    get a part no for main stat as C00194621

    is that the one you have

    hotpoint site seems to list 2 different one depending on how you search. problem is they hide part number so make life difficult. one of them is as above. the other is decribed as ” thermostat oven and microswitch”

    this is an error code that seems ot mentioned a lot without any known solution

    it does seem to hinge around the cooling fan or inability of the board to sense it

    I would start by looking at the fan motor itself and first off is it open circuit

    I don’t know of any regulations regarding tumble dryers and boilers but condensor dryers need a flow of cool air to work even the heat pump dryers need cool air to cool components. they all have a maximum and minimum ambient temp

    you are correct though heat pump dryers should be less likely to catch fire as there is no element

    the pressure switch is a low voltage switch that tells the board when there is enough water in the machine

    the thermistor is located in the sump

    sounds like it may be overheating

    have you checked if the cooling fan is running ? this is inside the top of the oven and not the one inside the oven

    Bosch part no 12004794. if its not dont assume is a faulty motor till you have checked

    parts listing shows a pressure switch, check water level and operation

    the thermistor is attached as part of the module as far as i can see

    have you tried defrosting the unit as sometimes the sensor can get frozen in ?
