well if they can pull it off heat pumps are going to be a growth area

let hope they can survive

ok

whats happening is the motor is starting but the feedback from the motor is not reaching the board to tell the board how fast its going

on the back of the motor is a small circular magnet in a coil. This magnet revolves and generates a voltage in the coil proportionate to the motor speed

first you have to find the wires that connect to this coil on the motor and see if you can get a resistance reading from it. Also check the magnet is not damaged and revolves with the armature

if all ok you then need to check the wiring up to the board

on some motors it could be as simple as the magnet has become unscrewed and is not revolving

ok is the motor turning at all ?

Dave

[electrofix]

ok give me the model and the long serial no off the label inside the door

Dave

[electrofix]

just the poer cables

if it still does it its not the heater but its always my first check

can be heater
machine does not sense heater when not connected so as a check remove both heater terminals and insulate
then try it

if no E08 change heater

told him to email Stoves as a long shot as we only live 5 miles or so from them. probably made in the prescot factory in those days

That’s a good mouse trap

basically if the holes are 5mm or so, and the insulation is behind them, just ignor them

there is no sealant avaiable that will take the heat for long periods and you also have to think of any chemicals given off might taint your food

if holes are really big you into metal plates and self tapping screws

Dave

[electrofix]

buy an oven thermometer

you can get them fairly cheaply

Dave

[electrofix]

the holes close to the element will be hotter and the fan is blowing already hot air across an element thats glowing red. Steel starts glowing red at 460 degrees

Dave

[electrofix]

be careful
often with Beko if you look up parts without adding the serial no you get different part numbers

Dave

[electrofix]

bear in mind that the temp by the element is going to be far hotter than the oven in general

you will be dealing with more than the ovens hottest temp of about 200 degrees possibly double

Dave

[electrofix]

if the holes are small it wont be a problem

the insulation cant catch fire
