This OEM thermostat replaces Smeg part 818730616 and is made to the original specification, rated 14A with a range of 60 to 298 degrees C. It suits a wide list of Smeg ovens and cookers, among them the FS61X and FS61MFS, the SA9065XNG and SA9066XS, and the C9GMXA and SCB66XPZ5. Omega OF601XA and OF901XA ovens are on the list too.

Smeg oven too hot, too cool or not heating at all?

The thermostat holds the oven at the temperature you set on the dial. A sensor inside the cavity reacts to the heat and opens the contacts once the oven reaches temperature, then closes them again as it cools. When a thermostat drifts, food burns on the outside or takes far longer than the recipe says. A failed one may leave the elements cold on every setting, or let the oven keep heating with no cut-off. Burnt or loose terminals at the back of the thermostat cause similar trouble, so inspect the wiring too.

Fitting the oven thermostat

Ovens are usually hard-wired, so a licensed electrician should do this job with the circuit isolated at the switchboard. On gas cookers, turn off the gas supply as well. Photograph the terminals before disconnecting. Route the new sensor along the same path as the old one, clipping it into the same brackets inside the oven without sharp bends. Refit the knob and check the oven temperature with a thermometer.
