The problem is usually a contactor or relay. The thermostat usually doesn't directly control the elements. Follow the wiring diagram or look at the wires from the thermostat. they usually go to a small box and then to the elements The contacts may sometimes stick or always stick. This part is a lot cheaper than the thermostat. Another problem is a burned out element. (Usually the bake element) This can short to ground and not let it turn off. When the elements are on they should glow evenly all over with no hot spots. Look at the broil element also. It is usually at least part way on during baking.

Temp change during cooking zanussi ZOP37922

Both gas and electric ovens will cycle on and off throughout the cooking cycle to maintain the set temperature. When the oven temperature has dropped below the set temperature, the oven cycles on again to provide heat and will cycle off again once the temperature is higher than the set temperature.

Hi, I have a zanussi gas oven, the fuse has blown a number of times. it then cuts off ignition and there is no gas in the bottom oven. not sure if any one can help because im left clueless...

The oven safety valve
(also called the gas valve) is the part that ensures that gas is not released until the igniter has reached the correct temperature needed to ignite the gas. While this part can fail, it is uncommon. If the hot surface igniter does not glow you should first verify that you have voltage to the circuit. This is a live voltage check and should be performed by a qualified person. If voltage is lost at the valve terminals then you should verify the continuity of the bi-metal in the valve using a multi-meter.

The element has blown on my Zanussi ZBF860 oven. I

You should be able to remove the element without removing the oven. Open the door and remove the back panel, normally 4 screws. This will expose the element. Then it should be 3 or so screws holding the element to the frame, remove these and slowly pull the element towards you carefully, then remove the 2 wires from behind and make sure they don't fall back into the oven as you will need to remove the back panel to get them. Then reverse process to install new element. Hope this helps.

This indicates the oven has reached an over temperature. You will first need to check the temperature probe for the proper reading. Refer to the tech sheet located somewhere on your stove. It should be around 1100 ohms. If this checks out good the ERC electronic range control will need to be replaced. Here is a couple links that should help

I don't know what wattage I need for the bulb

You can fit a 15 or 25 watt bulb, as long it it is the correct thread, and it is able to withstand 300 degree temperature.
This is very important, otherwise it will blow with the heat.
Hope this helps.

The power to the whole house tripped off, when it was turned back on the oven has power to it still, but the main oven does not reach the temperature you programe it to reach. only 2 horizontal red lines...

I would say that the oven element has failed.
This is to be found at the rear of the oven compartment behind a removeable cover.
Fitting a new one should solve the problem.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

Fan in main oven boken

Sounds as if your oven heating element has failed. You need to fit a new one.

Usually you have to get the back off, disconnect the old element, remove the fixxing screws and element, fit new one, reconnect and it should be fixed. Don't forget to switch the power off before starting work.
