Thanks for that “heads up.”
Next time the fault occurs I will have the pcb out and look into swapping the capacitors.
In the meantime, (I am not into electronics) where did you source your supplies as google is not returning any (retail) small quantity suppliers.Thanks.
A new replacement board would not be worthwhile.Is it likely to be repairable?
Any idea which board component is failing?Would those have an intermittent or self correcting situation as I thought they would be go or no go only.
OK. This job will have to take its place in the queue, but thanks for your input.

Open it up, check stuff, it’s the only way.
K.
None taken;) and so do I,. there’s no guess work–its application of logic, but the b*****d was open, and so the stat is exposed and not subjected to oven heat but it does respond to heat gun test.
Thanks for the part ID. I will try swapping those two stats around, sometime.
Is there any compatible stat I could use instead, even if it means losing the connector block and 3 wires)Agreed the oven stat is irrelevant and that is not what I referred to. There are two fan initiation stats for the single tangential and rotary cooling fans. Hot air gun was aimed at the upper stat, after moving it away from the attachment bracket, to confirm that the stat was functioning.
Thanks again. You work later than me.
I still don’t “get it”. I thought the fans had a constant live supply but were activated when the stat reacted to temperature rise and closed to make the circuit. So where does the selector control play a part in the circuit?The lower oven does have its own stat linked to the fans.That’s why I thought it was the upper stat. Still don’t understand why the selector control would directly affect the fans as they have a live feed available for overrun even when the selector is off.
