My electric oven comes on but then turns off after 5 mins, it won't turn on again until its cooled down for about 10 mintes. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can someone tell me whats wrong with this oven? Thanks
It sounds like the overheat safety stat is cutting the oven off.
This is prevent the oven overheating and catching fire.
They can go faulty and operate prematurely, causing the prob u are experiencing.
If it is built in , make sure it has adequate ventilation, as this can cause the prob.
Also check to see if it has an external cooling fan fitted, these can fail, and again cause the prob.
They are usually fitted under the top cover of the oven, and designed to keep the oven cool.
It should come on shortly after turning the oven on
These things are the most likely cause of the prob.
plz rate my solution.
Thanks.
The safety stat by the way is also fitted at the top normally, but sometimes at the rear.
It is about 1" or so and has a wire in and out of it
Hi again.
If you feel competent enough to tackle it your self, you will have to removethe oven from the housing if it is bult in, and prceed step by step, it is a process of elmination.,
Otherwise call an engineer in, and tell him (her) what I have suggested it could be, then you won't get ripped off.
