Fair enough. I’ve got a fair idea of what’s going on anyway.
Unless I’m mistaken, the timer switches live to the stat. The faulty stat that I’ve put back on the cooker is now permanently closed circuit (I’m guessing that removing the capillary might have caused this). The stat that was supplied by the local engineer was proabaly faulty and I think that he knew it. The three terminals will be live in from the timer and a live to the fan and one to the element.
Re: Hotpoint EW73P timer/stat fault?
I am an independent ex-engineer, just not that local – I live 45 miles away, but I do come up here regularly. This is a remote rural area and the local independent engineer is the guy that sold them the part, and yes I agree they have been ripped off ( I think I said as much in my OP). Like I say I know the guy and wouldn’t trust him.
Even if there were another trustworthy engineer in the area, the call out cost would probably be fairly high (on top of the £70 that they have already paid). If I had seen the oven before thay had started messing with it I would have told them to pay the Hotpoint call out, as it is less than 5 years old.
If anyone can give me an idea of how the stat terminals should be wired , that would be a great help.
Thanks
