How to replace a Cooker / Oven Thermostat?

How to replace a Cooker / Oven Thermostat?

  1.  The Oven Thermostat is typically found at the back or the side of the cooker oven but is accessible from inside the Oven Door. This is dependent on what Oven you have. (Please bear in mind, this may differ slightly if you have a Double Oven)

  2.  Safety must be the first priority when dismantling or repairing electrical appliances. First Make sure your Oven is unplugged at the mains, and switched off; and ensure the repairer is competent and comfortable conducting a repair on the Oven.

  3.  Pull the main oven door down, or fully open the main cooker glass door so that the oven door and oven hinge latches lock on both sides. The door may then be removed fully (depending on the manufacturer and/or model of the machine).

  4.  Remove the top panel of the oven by locating and removing the 4 screws. Then pulling the whole oven out onto the floor. You can get your power drill to unscrew the screws. At the side of the oven from the top panel.

5.  You will find the black cord at the back of your oven. When turning the oven over on to its face with the back up; pull back the insulation where the end of the capillary cord is.

Then looking back inside your oven you should be able to determine where the capillary cord ends.

6. Using your pliers; locate the clips in the middle of your oven clipping them off. Then poking the capillary cord through the inside of your oven to the back of your oven. Using your driver/drill or screwdriver to remove the oven face. Removing the Oven Control Knobs/Dials also.

7. Unscrewing the first two screws. Try to take a picture or two, of the wires on the top of the oven and the layout for reference upon re-assembly. You need to clip the old Thermostat out and replace with the new one. Then feeding the wire back into the oven making sure the clip is located in its original place.

8. Re-assembling the whole oven in its original format. Locating the Main Oven door correctly in the same manner as it was before you removed it from the main oven cavity / oven assembly.
