574440 Genuine Oven Thermostat EGO 273°C for Fisher & Paykel Ovens, F&P Oven Temperature Control Thermostat

Part 574440 is a genuine Fisher & Paykel oven thermostat, an EGO unit listed with a 273°C rating. It controls oven temperature by switching the elements on and off to match the dial setting. Fisher & Paykel used several thermostats across its oven ranges, so check your oven's model and serial number against the parts list for 574440, or match the markings on the old thermostat, before you order.

Is your Fisher & Paykel oven burning food or not getting hot?

If food is burning on a moderate setting, or the oven never seems to get hot enough, the thermostat is a prime suspect. A healthy thermostat cycles the elements on and off, so the heating indicator light normally clicks on and off once the oven is up to temperature. A faulty one may never switch off, letting the oven climb well past the setting, or never switch on, leaving it cold. Readings that drift further out each year are also common as the sensing system ages. Check with an oven thermometer first, and test the elements and selector switch as well.

Changing the thermostat

Isolate the oven at the switchboard and allow it to cool completely. The thermostat sits behind the control panel, with its sensing probe running into the oven cavity. Photograph the wiring and the probe route, and make sure the probe clips back into its original position. Ovens that are hard-wired need a licensed electrician to do the swap. Check the temperature with a thermometer once it's back together.
