AEG B1180-4 Electric Single Oven - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

the fault is unlikely to be the actual oven unit so therefore in order of least expense the things to check are:- the door seal being complete, the hinges not having been forced, the door not being buckled, self adhesive universal seals are available online from *spares etc. Hinges are easy to remove from the cooker and then can be unscrewed from the door and replaced. if it's the door I would have to say that's less likely to be available for a sensible price.

The bulb

Yes, most likely it is the heating element, you will need to have a new one fitted.


This video link will give you an idea of what's involved.

Hi, My Competence B1180-4 digital clock keeps switiching itself off and then back on. This means that the timer etc dosen't work. It is intimitant.

change the thermal its close to the blower

Hello,

It seems like the element around the fan in the main oven has most probably burnt out and will need replacing.
Hpoe this helps,

Is the digital clock/timer set correctly? Sometimes after a powercut I have to reset this to get the oven controls back into manual mode. Follow this link to the user guide for your oven and have a read. Re set the timer and should be ok....hopefully! http://safemanuals.com/user-guide-instructions-owner-manual/AEG-ELECTROLUX/B1180-4-M%20UK%20R05-_E

Hi.
Without knowing your exact make and model I can only guess that your console cooling fan (sits at the top back of your oven) has failed. This is used to keep the the clock and controls from overheating. If it failes then a safety switch will activate and turn everything off in your cooker. when it cools down it will remake the contact and then switch everything back on again.

Hope this helps

Your oven has a fan to draw in cool air at the bottom of the front panel, pass it around the case, and then blow it out at a position towards the top of the oven. This is a completely different fan that is at the back of the oven itself.

The cooling fan is necessary as the materials in modern ovens are kept light and thin as possible to save weight and manufacturing costs, however the flipside of this is that if not cooled by the cooling fan, they would be damaged by the heat inside the oven itself.

The cooling fan will continue to run for some time after the oven is switched off, because it will wait until the oven has fully cooled down before stopping the cooling fan.

If it is a fan assisted oven, and the fan is working, then you need to replace the oven element.

Could be caused by either of following;

1. Faulty thermostat.
2. Faulty thermal cut out switch. (controls power to cooling fan).
3. Faulty cooling fan (not fan inside oven).

Test thermostat by setting thermostat to low temperature like 60 oC. If oven gets much hotter then its a faulty thermostat.
To test cooling fan and thermal switch take oven out and remove top or rear panels to expose components.
When oven gets hot the cooling fan should turn on. If it doesn't then check to see if there is a mains voltage present.
If mains current exist but fan is not turning then replace fan. If mains voltage is not present then its the thermal switch.

not sure but it sounds like it is tripping on overload

Hiya, most likely needs new elements.
Best of luck

It could be a fuse or thermal cut out, you can test it with a meter. you should have continuity through it, if not then it is faulty.
If you do not have access to meter, then if take a piece of wire and connect it to the fan terminal and connect the other end to the origin of the ceramic fuse or what ever it is, and it should work, you are in effect bypassing the part in question.
If it still does not work then you are going to have to investigate further, or call some one in.

If you are sure the timer is set to manual and not auto , then I would say that it sounds like the selector switch is faulty or the thermostat is faulty, some times they are combined as one unit, and sometimes they are 2 separate switches.
You need to remove top cover of oven and have a look inside the control panel and see if there is anything obvious like a burnt wire or bad connection
If it is a combined unit, then sometimes the 2 parts of the unit become disengaged or the cam inside the switch breaks.

You might get user instructions if you go to the folowing.

Follow the instructions.

Thanks.. Make sure timer is set to manual and not auto.

You need to reset the timer to manual from auto , that is why your oven won't come on.
Refer to your user manual on how to do this.I can't tell you how as the sequence differs from model to model.

Hi.
The thermostat is the control with the temp marked on it.
You can acess it by removing the top cover of the oven.

Sounds like a faulty thermostat.You will need a new one
