Hi Dave,

I removed the PCB earlier and to my untrained eye it all looks ok. No signs of any smoke having escaped!

I’ve also heated the oven up again with both the safety stats shorted out (yes, I know!), and this time with a small bowl of pre-heated water (80 deg C) on the middle shelf. But, even after 30 minutes at an alleged 250 deg, it refused to boil. In fact, it only went up to just over 90 deg.

So, it looks like a board. However, as they are around £200 I think I’ll resign myself to using it as a microwave only until the matching oven (under the m/w in the built in kitchen) fails and they both need to be replaced.

I’m grateful for the help and advice.

Best regards,

Richard.

Hi Dave,

I found two stats, one of which has a part number and temperature rating, the other with no markings at all.

I initially discounted those as the oven does ‘seem’ to get up to temperature. However, I also couldn’t track down replacements. The closest I could find was a 130 deg. one but the one in my oven is rated at 150 deg.

I’ve been baby sitting an over active grandaughter the last couple of days but should get back on this later today.

Thanks,

Thanks Dave,

I’ll lift the board out tomorrow and have a look at it but I’m not expecting to see anything! 🙂

Any ideas if they are available? I suspect Google will be my friend here.

I did Dave. The probe is a little longer than the one in your attachment but is the same as the one I removed.

Any other suggestions?
