30100900014 Genuine Oven Thermostat for Glen Dimplex Group Ovens and Cookers, Oven Temperature Control Thermostat Replacement

Part 30100900014 is a genuine Glen Dimplex oven thermostat, the control that holds the oven at the temperature you set on the dial. Glen Dimplex uses a number of thermostats across its cooking brands, with different temperature ranges, shaft lengths and probe styles, so the number is the only reliable match. Read it off the body of your old thermostat or find it in the parts list for your oven before ordering.

Signs of a faulty oven thermostat

On most ovens a sensing probe inside the cavity feeds back to the thermostat, which switches the elements on and off to keep the temperature steady. As thermostats age, their contacts wear and the calibration drifts. You might find cakes burning on the outside while raw in the middle, roasts taking much longer than the recipe says, an oven that keeps heating well past the set temperature, or one that never warms up at all. A separate oven thermometer is a handy check. If it consistently reads well away from the dial setting, the thermostat is a likely culprit.

Replacing the thermostat

Isolate the oven at the switchboard. As a hard-wired appliance, it should be repaired by a licensed electrician. The probe usually passes through the cavity wall and is held by clips inside the oven, so note its path and refit it the same way, taking care not to kink a capillary tube. Transfer the wires one at a time to avoid mix-ups, then test the temperature with an oven thermometer.

Questions about this part

Do I need to recalibrate the oven after fitting a new thermostat?

A genuine thermostat should come set for the oven it's made for, so you normally just fit it and test. Check the temperature with an oven thermometer once the oven has preheated. If it's still well out, ask a technician to look at the probe position and elements.
