Since we had a power cut (2 power cuts within a few mins) our oven isnt heating up correctly.

It gets to maybe 130c then doesnt get any hotter.
The fan does come on, light comes on and grill is working fine.

I've bought and fitted a new heating element (same part no.) and its doing the same.
It might be the thermostat that needs replacing, but would like to reset it first if possible as replacing the thermostat looks like quite a big job (take the temp control dial off, remove oven door, remove open from fitted units, unwire, replace)

Does anyone know if thermostats on electric ovens can be reset or any other reason its not getting up to temperature?

Oven is build into fitted units and is an AEG COMPETENCE B2190-1

have you tried the cheaper option of changing the oven door seals?

also a pizza stone base placed in the oven really does help it get hotter quicker..

mine buggs the hell out of me as it takes 20 mins to get to 200c, but reading online that's expected... I tend to air fry now a days when possible.

Pretty sure its not the oven door seals. Something happened after the power cut that seems to have triggered some safety thing or maybe reset the thermostat.
I stuck it on 250c yesterday for 30 mins and could tough the inside metal without it hurting too much.

If it was on 250 for 30 mins and working, id have to move my head quickly when opening the oven door.

Same, we use an air fryer all the time but the oven is used for pizza, baking and xmas dinner / large meat cuts like lamb.

Why specifically? My dad has changed just about every part in his oven and isnt an electrician. He actually did most if not all of the electrics in his house.

if not could it be thermal cut-out that is interceding on the element heating circuit ...

I did see this - https://shop.aeg.co.uk/cooking/cook...overheat-protection-thermostat/p/140018026033

That fits my part no. (944181735)

I've ordered this thermostat - https://shop.aeg.co.uk/cooking/cookers-ovens-hobs/thermostats/oven-thermostat/p/3890770237
 
Heat element is replaced (£15)
Thermostat is replaced (£48)
Still the same issue.

Element comes on and heats up a bit but then the thermostat triggers and turns it off after a couple minutes at maybe 120c.
Looks like its an AEG one fixed price job.

Had an issue with my electric oven not heating, wife had cleaned it and knocked the thermocouple off the bracket so it was touching the back of the oven rather than suspended in free space with a shiny metal clip. Clipped it back in and worked fine after.

Long shot... But worked for me.

We replaced the thermostat yesterday, unless the thermocouple is something else.
