Re: Diplomat ADP5330 Not fully heating, different cut off te
Best of luck with it. Hope that is the solution.
I had to go with the wife’s fix I’m afraid as I didn’t manage to fix the issue.
A new range cooker. Ouch 😯
Re: Diplomat ADP5330 Not fully heating, different cut off te
OK heres the latest.
I tried to measure the temperature but don’t have a thermometer capable of going that high. It thinks I am dead now 😀
The problem in summary again. The cooker has many settings. The 2 most used by the wife are; Fan Assisted Oven and Conventional Oven.
Both of these don’t seem to get much hotter than 160-180 (according to the stat that clicks on and off). Now the wife assures me that everything takes an age to cook on these settings so I will take her word for it. This would indicate to me that the stat seems right.
I replaced both safety cut out switches with the parts recommended above but this made no difference.
The cooling fan was replaced a while back. This went about 18 months ago. Hope its not that.
Lastly the only setting that seems to be useable is the Hot Air Cooking. The manual says that this is an element in the back around the cooking fan and the fan blows air across it and into the oven to cook the food.
So now I have come to a stop.
Is there anything else it could be? Could it be one of the elements top or bottom malfunctioning or are these pretty dumb devices?
The top one seems to get pretty hot as when I touch it with a cloth it is damn hot.
Could the bottom element be a problem?
Re: Diplomat ADP5330 Not fully heating, different cut off te
Hi back on the case again. Same fault after replacing the safety cut of devices suggested above. There is a mention of a couple of stats.
Any chance you could suggest any other replacement parts that may cause this problem?
The wife has her eyes on a £1200 replacement and if I can’t fix this I will be paying for a new cooker for about 2 years.
Re: Diplomat ADP5330 Not fully heating, different cut off te
Thanks for that. I have the prices for the 2 part numbers you suggested.
Are they fairly straightforward to replace. I am not a complete plonker but wouldn’t class myself as fully skilled!!!
Is it a case of removing the hob cover and the parts are obvious??
Re: Diplomat ADP5330 Not fully heating, different cut off te
Thought I would double check as I am following the wife’s instructions (never a good thing :rolls: )
There does seem to be quite a bit of warm air blowing out of the bottom of the oven door so you could be spot on here.
Guessing that the bottom seal is fairly cheap to fix and so will have a crack at that first.
Don’t suppose anyone can show me a link to the correct part on the websites shop???
Re: Diplomat ADP5330 Not fully heating, different cut off te
Sorry – so a bit clearer.
The oven doesn’t get any hotter than the temperature I said. It stays around that temperature.
Had a new “goalpost” seal added a couple of months ago. The one at the bottom appears OK and there doesn’t seem to be excessive heat loss from any of the door sides or bottom. Hinges also look good to the eye.
Is there a way of testing if one of the elements has failed?
Re: Diplomat ADP5330 – Major Fan Noise
Final Update
So the part turned up within 2 days from your shop. All of them even the ones that said 7 day lead time (the seals).
The firm that tried to charge me double the price for the parts turned up and fitted the parts you supplied.
However they turned up with their own parts aswell :rolls:
So after 6 weeks of chasing them because they couldn’t get the parts they turn up with their own. So in no uncertain terms the engineer was asked to fit the parts you supplied and take his own away and do what he wanted with them.
All parts were correct and the oven has returned to a state better than ever. It must have been slowly on the way out for a couple of years (from when we moved in) because I never remember it that quiet.
Anyway, all working and all good.
Thanks to everyone on here and will recommend this site to anyone I talk to who has appliance problems in the future.
Cheers 😀
Re: Diplomat ADP5330 – Major Fan Noise
actually guys don’t worry.
Having phoned the repair firm who have been waiting 31 days for the part from their source I finally managed to get the part number from them and it was the same part number as you specified.
What a fantastic website this is.
Usual caveats from the repair guys apart parts differences,etc but they are the same part numbers they gave me aswell (also got the door seal).
Oh and lastly you were £65 cheaper than the repair firm were trying to charge me.
Thanks for your help. Would recommed you to anyone (assuming the bits turn up of course 😆 )
Re: Diplomat ADP5330 – Major Fan Noise
if I was rolling in it and not 16 stone already it would be great.
Just to check – so this part is the motor. I don’t need the fan unit aswell do I?
PS. Brilliant that you have these.
Re: Diplomat ADP5330 – Major Fan Noise
Hi,
Back for more!!
Got a repair company to come and look at the oven. He said it was the cooling fan and the oven could still be used while he got a replacement cooling fan.
A few days later the noise stopped and the oven started getting really hot to touch so told the wife to stop using it altogether as we have a young baby running around.
This was 28 days ago and the repair company have told me 3 times that the part will be available in a couple of days.
Now if they had said up front, this will take 30 days to get the part I could have least been prepared.
Having stupidly paid in advance for the service I am loathed to go elsewhere and the actual engineer did give the impression he was professional.
Can anyone help me source a part. The company are saying it’s a Hygena part on a Diplomat branded Oven but they won’t tell me the part number so I can try and source it elsewhere and speed the process up.
Wife is kicking me as trying to provide 3 meals a day for 2 young kids without an oven is a pain in the rear.
Any help much appreciated.
