Re: Electrolux fan Oven EOB5630 keeps cutting out

Yep, quite true. I just thought someone may know for sure that if there’s no heat it is most likely to be the element and in no way connected to that fan cut out sensor thingymajig 🙂

As it happens the new element arrived yesterday but was too small, the supplier listed my oven model with it by mistake (It needed to be 50mm larger) and I’ve since took the old one off and tested it with a multimeter and can confirm it has no continuity. I didn’t know they could be tested like that until you said so thanks, a good tip for the future.

Re: Electrolux fan Oven EOB5630 keeps cutting out

hmm fitted the new sensor. Fan appears to work properly now but still no oven heat. So the answer for future readers is, the SENSOR itself being bad doesn’t seem to stop the element/oven working (if no heat then check thermostat and element rather than thinking it’s only/just the sensor). 🙂

gotta order that now.

Am I right in thinking the element is at the back of the oven behind the fan?

Thanks

Well, I repair vintage synthesizers as a ‘hobby’ for many years, so I’m not your average oven problem consumer, I guess that helps. 🙂 Thanks again.

Re: Electrolux fan Oven EOB5630 keeps cutting out

Thanks, I do have a multimeter. And the power is off (the fuse removed from the box) before I did anything, I don’t mess with the old leccy. 😉

Now I guess I just have to discover where the element is (And access to it).

thanks, hoping it is just the sensor.

Re: Electrolux fan Oven EOB5630 keeps cutting out

Hi

I wonder if any one more knowledgeable that I could advise me.

Our electrolux oven had the same issues as in this thread (cutting out when too hot, fan staying on constantly). I had already narrowed it down to the ‘capsule’ shaped sensor but didn’t worry too much as I found for the temps we used (and grill) it still worked.

Eventually the fan went from staying on for extended periods, to staying on permanently (so we’d switch it off at the box after use to prevent it driving us mad).

Then one day during baking something the oven seem to to stop working.

The grill still works, the controls still work, the thermostat appears to work (I can heat the oven up with the grill then get the on/off click/light to respond to the temp rise/drop so that appears correct) BUT the main oven itself will not heat up. No matter what temp you set it to (and of course with the timer all set correctly so as not to prevent it) the oven refuses to even start getting warm.

So my question is (as I’m about to order a new cut out sensor, having removed the blackened old one that was definitely burnt out and dead) will replacing just this part likely enable the main oven to start heating up again (I.e is it a safety measure when it fails to prevent the main oven working) OR does it sound like the main oven element is dead and I’ll also need a new one of those (saw them online for around £20 so not too bad).

I know I’ll find out myself when I fit the new sensor if the oven works or not but while i’m buying if someone believes the element has gone based on the above description, I may as well buy one of those too.

Thanks
