Re: new element not working ?

Ok

Thanks for the repsonse, but it is only a month old, are you sure the element burning out would have knackered a month old genuine part thermostat, not doubting, just dont want to spend more money one month after buying a new thermostat, it never did this on previous occasions, just new element required.

Thanks

Re: Homark 700306 getting really hot !!

Thanks Dave

Its just a lot of money for an engineer, when it may just be a new element, is it worth trying a new element before calling the engineer ? I am though loathe to shell out again having just purchased a new thermostat, which is now looking like not the cause of the fault.

What do you think ?

Hi Penguin – thanks for that one, but how do I go about solving/ repairing an earth leak on the element ?

Thanks

Re: Homark 700306 getting really hot !!

Hi

THanks for your tips so far;

Dave, in reply – when the stat/ electrics click ( temp achieved ) NO the temp indicator light continues to glow indicating heat still going thru the element, which it is !! Like I say, the electrics and stat seem to be doing their job the message just aint getting to the element………

Bryan, in reply, back to basics – when oven is turned on to say 120 the element comes on and temp indicator light, when temp is reached the stat clicks but oven continues to heat and temp indicator light still illuminates. I must admit when I first tried with new stat it was working fine at temps this low, on and off, but since I tested at 200 it has just returned to its old self, even at low temps.

Everything seems fine, bar the message reaching the element. The continental thermo I purchased was universal with two fittings, I guess the two wires leading from the oven controls go simply the same way onto this universal thermo as the old one ?? ie. right hand side goes onto nearest pin on thermo and left hand side goes onto nearest thermo pin at that side ?

Help, any more advice appreciated !! 😥

Hi

Thanks for the advice, I was sure this would solve it, but it seems not, fitted new thermostat and seemed to work OK initially at low temps, turned up to 200c fan and this just stayed on constanlty, tried low temps again and excactly the same, now back to old tricks, when it is hot heat stays on, when it is cold heat doesnt come on, what is noticable is the clicking of the electrics wanting to switch on and off, but heat doesnt go on/ come off. This is really audible but nothing happens to element when the click/ message is sent.

Really strange problem can anybody help please it is getting near christmas !! 😥

Problem ( big one………)
