140234021065 Genuine Copreci Oven Thermostat 1800mm for Electrolux Group Ovens and Cookers, Replacement Oven Temperature Control

Genuine part 140234021065 is a Copreci thermostat supplied by Electrolux for its group ovens and cookers, listed at 1800mm. Copreci is a well known Spanish manufacturer of cooking controls. On a thermostat like this, the length normally describes the capillary tube that runs from the control body to the sensing bulb in the oven, and 1800mm is a long run. Check the length and the number on your old thermostat before buying.

Oven temperature problems and the thermostat

The thermostat reads the oven temperature through its sensing bulb and controls the heat, either the elements or the gas flow, to hold the setting on the dial. When it drifts or fails, baking times go haywire. Cakes burn outside and stay raw inside, roasts take far longer than they should, or the oven heats flat out regardless of the setting. Some failures leave the oven with no heat at all. Before replacing it, check the bulb is clipped in its proper place in the cavity, since a dislodged bulb gives false readings.

Fitting the thermostat

Isolate the oven at the switchboard, and for a gas oven turn off the gas supply as well. A licensed gas fitter needs to do the work on a gas oven, and a licensed electrician on a hard-wired electric one. Route the capillary along the same path as the old one without kinking it, fix the bulb in its original clips, and check the temperature with an oven thermometer afterwards.

Questions about this part

Is 1800mm the length of the thermostat?

The 1800mm in the Electrolux description most likely refers to the capillary tube, the thin line between the control body and the sensing bulb. Measure the capillary on your old thermostat, or match the part number, to make sure the new one will reach.
