Hi, we have just moved into our new house and the oven heats up, but then after 10 mins or so it completely shuts down and loses its heat, once it is cooled down the oven powers back up and it works fine. I know nothing about ovens but cannot afford for an electrician to come and investigate so your help would be very much appreciated.

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.
Good luck!
Thankyou so much for this advice, it's years since it was posted but I have an oven 7 years old and just fixed it thanks to you. The part really varied in price, I found the cheapest at about eighteen pounds (it won't let me put the name in, just search the part code). So basically you saved me lots of dosh doing it myself. Easy as 1-2-3 (4) there was only 4 wires to remove and replace with the new part, done in 15 mins.

oven works for 10 mins then knocks off, fan keeps going ,oven cools then fires up again. stat ?
I had the same problem with Electrolux EOB5630 and a local electrician replaced the thermal cut out as above, but it still cuts out. He checked everything and could not figure out what is wrong. He went away to have a think aobut it and said he'd found that it could be something to do with the timer??? He couldn't get a reasonable price for a replacement timer (approx £170 was the best price he could find!). I asked him if he could just bypass the timer and remove it, but the law won't let him
Any other thoughts? Don't want to pay for the replacement timer - may as well get a new oven.
