793185 Genuine Electric Thermostat for Fisher & Paykel Ovens, F&P Electric Oven Temperature Control Thermostat

Fisher & Paykel calls part 793185 an electric thermostat. In an electric oven, this is the control that holds the cavity at the temperature you set. It's a genuine F&P part, but there's no confirmed model list on file, so check the number stamped on your old thermostat or the parts list for your appliance first. If neither is handy, send the model and serial number from the rating label through the parts enquiry form.

Oven temperature wrong? How a faulty thermostat shows up

A thermostat senses the heat inside the oven and switches the elements on and off to hold the setting. When it fails, the oven may overshoot and burn food, never reach temperature, cycle erratically or not heat at all even though the light and fan come on. Some thermostats use a capillary tube and sensing bulb that runs into the cavity, and a kinked or broken tube is a common cause. Before replacing it, rule out a failed element or a tripped thermal cut-out, as both can mimic a thermostat fault.

Replacing the thermostat safely

Isolate the oven at the switchboard before you open any panels. Most ovens are hard-wired, so a licensed electrician should do this job. Photograph the terminal connections, and if there's a sensing bulb, note how it's clipped inside the cavity. Feed the new one through the same path without kinking it. Once power is back on, check the oven reaches and holds temperature with an oven thermometer.
