Re: Electrolux fan Oven EOB5630 keeps cutting out
Yes exactly. Do you know what it is called or Part Number for it?
In your opinion, could this be the reason for the top ventilating fan not coming on?
ThanksRe: Electrolux fan Oven EOB5630 keeps cutting out
Dear friend,
I would never doubt your knowledge and experience. All I said, respectfully, was that the item you kindly mentioned was exactly the one I had purchased via Ebay, which is already fitted but has not cured the problem of non running top fan.I’ll appreciate it if you (or anyone else) could let me know what that tiny thermal switch is called and how I could get hold of one. As you’d appreciate, it’s not possible to look for something unless we know what that item is called or it’s part number.
I really appreciate your kind replies, and sincerely hope you did not take offense. Thanks once again.
Re: Electrolux fan Oven EOB5630 keeps cutting out
No, unfortunately the item you’ve referred to is The OVEN THERMAL CUT OUT Part No. 3872079029. It’s not that small thermal switch (which is a type of thermostat) that I’m looking for. Cheers.
Re: Electrolux fan Oven EOB5630 keeps cutting out
With respect to all. I had the same problem. Most people have pointed to the main oven thermostat as THE cause. It’s not necessarily that. It’s easy to test your thermostat:
The heat sensing part of it is situated inside the oven, top left corner at the back wall. No need to remove to test. When cool, the on-off knob (front panel – Right) if you turn it, you hear a click early on, about 1 – 2 o’clock.Turn knob to off. Heat the sensor by pointing a hot hair drier or candle or lighter flame under it. after a couple of minutes or so, try the knob again. If you hear the click further down, 3 – 4 O’clock position, it means it’s sensing the higher temperature, therefore there’s nothing wrong with your thermostat.
Move the oven half way out and open the top plate. You’ll see a Capsule shaped item, 1 inch long with 4 wires coming out of it, two white & two blue, connected to the left hand selector, PCB and the grill extractor fan motor. This is OVEN THERMAL CUT OUT Part No. 3872079029. If you see it’s discoloured to dark brown, it’s burnt and needs replacing. I found the cheapest on Ebay (item 310237170627) for £11.94 + 95p P&P. Very easy to replace.
NOW; the reason it’s overheated, it means something has caused it. Is the fan working? Mine does not, no matter how long I leave the grill on. I checked the live & neutral poles, showing power is getting to it, but why is it not working?
There is a small thermal switch (which is a type of thermostat) screwed to the top of the oven (left of the central fan) and is wire connected to the fan. This is supposed to switch on when the top element (grill) gets too hot and start the fan. I assume if this is faulty, no matter how hot, the fan won’t start to do it’s job.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? ANY FEEDBACKS?
Does anyone have any idea what this little thermal switch is called and where it can be purchased?
