Oven cooling fan running on, not running or overheating?

Built-in ovens have a cooling fan that blows air through the gap between the cavity and the outer case. A cooling thermostat set at a fixed point, here 140°C, works with that system, typically keeping the fan going until things have cooled or switching the circuit when the set point is reached. If it fails, the fan may run for hours after cooking or never start at all, or the oven may cut out while cooking. Scorched cabinets, a hot control panel or softened knobs are also warning signs.

Fitting the cooling thermostat

This part sits in a hard-wired circuit, so a licensed electrician should fit it with the oven isolated at the switchboard. The oven usually needs to come out of the cabinet to reach it. Label the wires before removing them, fit the new thermostat with good contact against its mounting surface, and check the cooling fan behaves normally during and after a cook.

Questions about this part

Can I fit a thermostat with a different rating?

No. The 140°C point is matched to the oven's design, and a different rating can leave the fan running at the wrong time or let the oven overheat. Use the same rating as the part you're replacing.
