Re: creda oven wiring diagram?

I would have turned the power off anyway but thanks for the warning. I traced out the wiring (so this is not copyright) and FYI it goes like this:

Oven control is thermostat, Switch A , Switch B. A + B are closed if knob is on.

L in —-
Door Switch (at back near cable in)
—-
Front Panel (This for timer/manual I guess)
—–
Stat-1 + Switch A

Stat -2 —- Element

Stat is the ONLY thing that switches the element on/off
Switch A turns on the oven fan and triggers the timer PCB
The timer PCB controls the control cooling fan which runs on after everything is switch off

Switch B is wired in parallel with the top oven Switch B and I think the purpose is to warn if you set auto cook but don’t set a temperature on either oven or top oven.

The stat has a hole at the back which takes a small hex nut driver (M3?). This is labelled + – – and allows the stat to be adjusted so I’ve tweaked that a bit and now the oven is off. This wouldn’t be how I’d design it but there you are. I will make sure I turn off the cooker at the wall when I go away in future it case it turns on in cold weather.

As it happens I do have an IR thermometer but it wouldn’t be any good for checking this as I don’t reckon you could be sure it was reading through the oven glass and not the glass itself. I have a much cheaper meter (AFAIR <£5) which takes a thermocouple so I was planing to trap the thin thermocouple wire in the door seal and use that to measure the internal temperature to check it when I have a new element.
