Re: Creda ‘Cachet’ Solarplus; Only one oven will work

Ok, fortunately I had the presence of mind to anticipate the next question!!
Both thermostats are working as they ought, a good draught is coming from the fan (Although…excuse possible extreme stupidity here, but in which direction should the cooling fan blow? at present, it blows from its location top back out towards the front, and not much actually passes then down the door fronts; surely it would be better if it drew air in and therefore upwards through the doors?…prepares for incoming 😳 ).
The oven is about 14 months old, and has adequate ventilation from below through plinth vent & is clear at the rear…
Would it be worth just changing the thermal cut out anyway? Any idea of part cost?

Cheers

Re: Creda ‘Cachet’ Solarplus; Only one oven will work

Ok then, upon turning on either oven, or the grill, the cooling fan immediatley starts up. Does this help?!!

Re: Creda ‘Cachet’ Solarplus; Only one oven will work

My apologies for the delay in replying! The model number is 48181.
As far as I am aware, if either oven is used in isolation, then all is well, but if both ovens are run together, then when they reach temperature, both cut out, and will not work again until the whole unit has cooled totally….sounds very much as though there is a thermal cut out mis-behaving, but could see no sign of one when replacing lower oven element (which I incorrectly diagnosed as being faulty….)
