A145486 Genuine Oven Thermostat for Ariston Ovens, Ariston Oven Temperature Control Thermostat, Alternative C00081597

A145486 is a genuine Ariston oven thermostat, the control that holds your oven at the temperature set on the dial. Our records also list C00081597 as an alternative number, so it's worth checking both against your old part. Ariston has used several thermostats over the years, and we don't have models on file for A145486, so check the number on the thermostat body or in your oven's parts list.

Oven not heating properly? It could be the thermostat

Most oven thermostats use a sensing bulb inside the cavity, joined by a thin capillary tube to a switch behind the control knob. As the oven heats, the bulb tells the switch when to cut the elements and when to bring them back in. When the thermostat fails, the oven may not heat at all, may run far hotter than the dial says, may cut out early, or may cook unevenly from one bake to the next. A kinked or broken capillary tube is a common cause, so check its whole length.

Fitting an oven thermostat

Ovens are often hard-wired, so isolate the circuit at the switchboard and have a licensed electrician fit the thermostat. The oven must be cold. Note how the bulb is clipped inside the cavity and how the capillary is routed, then photograph the wiring. Fit the new thermostat along the same path without kinking the tube, reconnect it and check the oven reaches the set temperature.
