Your Fan thermostat has failed, now the cooling fan will run forever trying to cool the broken part... Look for the thermostat in the wiring diagram that is with the oven, meter it for continuity, and if it fails, use the model number to order a new part from a local part store- your model number represents nothing here in America or I would tell you the part #! Range Stove Oven Thermostat 318578506
For a more precise answer I need more information like is it light illuminates when the failure is occurred. If the light illuminates then is faulty oven thermostat. If the light does not illuminates then is faulty main temperature limiter.
From my experience the most common reason for this failure is a thermal switch for cooling fan. It is located on the upper side between the wiring and its function is to switch off the cooling fan when the temperature drops even though the oven is already turned off. If the cooling fan does not work then it will increase the temperature on the cabinet and the main temperature limiter will switch off the oven.
You will need a multimeter to check for th resistance of the coils.remove power plug.
Check from the power plug to the main switch .When the switch is turned on the line must come till the coil.
Now disconnect and test the coils , if open resistance the coils are burnt and must be replaced with the same type /wattage.
However if coil is good then it can be the thermostat cut off(UNIT), the switch or the wires.
Hello,
This would appear to be the ring element around the fan that has failed and will need to be replaced.You will need to power off unit,then remove the back panel inside oven 4 screws in corners,Be careful with Thermostat held in place by clips above or on back panel.You may find 3 or 4 screws holding ring element.Gently pull towards you,being careful that the cables come with it.Check element with multimeter to see if open circuit if its ok then it may be a thermostat fault.If it is a faulty element,
get your replacement element,remove the cables off old one and put onto new one.Then push back into place and refix all.
Hi, I've had a similar problem with my electrolux EOB4633. I've replaced the "thermal cut out unit" and it's working now. Basically this unit switches on the outer casing fan ( on top in my oven ) to keep the casing from overheating. When the thermal cut out doesn't work it fails to switch on the fan and the casing overheats, the oven then cuts out completely until it has cooled down and the cycle starts again.
The bit to be replaced ( part no 8996619267611 ) is located on top of the oven, under the outer cover, just behind the timer & selector switch. It's a small ( 1inch long ) silicon sleeve with 4 wires coming out of it, just unplug the wires and replace it with the new one ( unplug/disconnect the power to the oven, or switch of the power at the mains switch first ), then remove the oven outer top cover ( all you need is a screwdriver ). You'll see the offending unit, probably tie wrapped to one of the wire bundles, quite easily - mine was blackened and charred.
