Re: Smeg Oven Fan Motor

Great thanks for your reply, I will investigate more.

If I turn the oven off at the control panel the RCD holds but the cooling fan still overruns for a bit as it should but does not trip the RCD, it only goes again if I try to put the oven into any of the fan assisted modes

Thanks

Re: Smeg Oven Fan Motor

Hi Apologies,

It is the internal oven fan with the element around it

I am assuming that as this is always on when the oven is in fan mode that there is no stat on this fan?

Re: Heater stays on constantly

Thanks, I will have a go, is there a way of checking the thermistor? do you know what the resistance should be for certain temperatures?

Cheers

Re: Heater stays on constantly

It’ll be a shame if it is, all is good apart from that, do you think it will be worth looking at if for dry joints if it is the problem or will it be a total right off?

Cheers

Re: Heater stays on constantly

Oh and we tried it on a 30 degree wash and the water was a lot hotter than that when it drained

Re: Heater stays on constantly

Hi,

We have just had another look at the machine, it goes through the cycle ok ish, the heater stays on constantly for the first part of the cycle and then goes off at the point the cycle that the first drain kicks in, this is as far as we let it run

we have tried unplugging the Thermostat (we believe it is the small pin connector on the heater element?) this makes the heater come on constantly as soon as a cycle is selected, even when the cycle has not been started.

we are thinking that the thermostat is not faulty to the point that it is open circuit yet but it is not giving a true temperature reading?

Cheers
