If you do though, I’d start with the fan element.

Do you have a link to a product?
Re: Electrolux E0B 944 tripping out. More advice needed pls
Would it make sense to simply order a new heating element, and see what happens?
As the power to the whole unit is tripping, would it not point to this?Re: Oven problem

If it’s really bad just seeing if you get anything between the live and neutral posts with even a basic multi-meter might work but, it’s got to be really bad to see that.

Ouch… I wouldnt know where to start with that.
Re: Oven problem
UPDATE:
So I’ve changed the internal COOLING FAN, and it is still tripping.
It’s CUTTING ALL POWER when it trips.
So could it be the ELEMENT that is faulty, or the thermostat???

Often the chalk will either start to break down or absorb moisture giving a path to earth. Its not unusual for a cold element to test fine and yet show a consideably reduced insulation reading when hot.
Thanks.
Do you have a link to a specific product I could buy that would fit the unit?

I’ll get Dave to have a look and post the right one or try to remember to do it when I get into the office tomorrow.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

Do you have one of these in your oven ?

I don’t think so…. eek
Earlier in this thread someone said
There’s a cooling fan and a fan control stat in that model, that’s it really for that side of things.
Is that the fan control stat you linked to?
Electrolux E0B 944 tripping out. More advice needed pls
Hi.
I posted this in the GENERAL section last week, but this seems to be a busier place, so reposting here in the hope of more help.
Built in fan assisted oven. Electrolux E0B 944. About 8 yrs old.
It works for bit then cuts out and it’s got a funny smell. I changed fuse on Friday and it was working but it’s gone again today.
Any ideas? Worth fixing?

It was suggested I replace the COOLING FAN MOTOR, which I did, and although the surround is now cooler, it is still tripping after 15 minsutes or so.
It has also been suggested I change the thermostat, but would appriciate a link to a specific product, if anyone can suggest one.

There is a thermal cut out which has 2 white wires and 2 blue wires that are in a plastic tube normally on the left middle towards the front. This will have normally failed if the fan had previously gone. It senses the temprature and cut off if it gets too hot or thinks it has.

Thank you.
Do you have a link to a product I can order???
