Faulty cooker!

Our oven has randomly stopped working, the temperature light has stopped coming on and the oven gives no heat at all, however the hob/grill are fine.

I'm edging toward blaming the thermal cutout after a bit of googling it seems likely. I've had a nose in the back of the cooker and I'm slightly put off by the fact nothing "looks wrong." I guess I was expecting to see a frazzled sensor or something.

Anyone have an input? the genuine part is a tenner from eBay so I'm thinking give it a whirl it's only a tenner.

It's an all electric cooker just fyi, a Beko dvc5622X.

For a tenner it has to be worth a go. I have one hob that I cant use as it trips the circuit. Cheaper to ignore it at the moment.

You can bridge out the thermal cut out to test it.

0_o never thought of that, I was going to move the one from the grill and try that but knowing my luck I'd only make it worse

Well my punt worked, well chuffed. Easy to do also!

grats.
oven elements are easy to replace too

if yours ever stops working.

grill elements look harder especially if it doubles up as a separate oven as one of the elements will be hidden under the second oven heating the base of it
