Question about Thermador C301U Electric Single Oven
Hi, Totally frustrated here. Two years ago, after running my self-cleaning cycle, the oven would no longer heat. We thought it was the element; no dice. We called in a licensed Thermador repairman. After nearly $400, it was fixed. Then, it happened AGAIN this spring. This time they opted NOT to charge us, as they felt that they had not fixed it correctly the first time. Guess what happened last night? After using the oven self-cleaning cycle successfully 6 weeks ago, when I used it last night, it once again killed the oven! It won't heat. The range is only 10 yrs old. It's already been 'fixed' twice. Any ideas/suggestions (other than mine, which was, "Oh, good, time for a new one!" which of course my husband shot down!) would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I guess it's back to using my outdoor gas grill as my oven to bake Christmas cookies! YIKES! Thanks!
SOunds like you need to reset the oven high limit switch. It should be located behind the grille obave the oven opening and below the control panel. There should be about 4-6 screws you need to take out to remove the grille to gain access. Turn the power of to the oven at the circuit breaker, then rech in with a screwdriver and push down on the little red button in the center of the hig limit until it clicks. the high limit should be about as big around as a quarter and have a wire going into one side and out the other. If this keeps tripping, you may have a bad cooling fan. When you run a self clean it should also run a fan to cool the components. You should be able to feel a breeze coming out of the bottom of the oven when the cooling fan (not the convection fan ) is running. If this fan doesnt run, it will trip that switch. Hope this helps!

I also had this problem about 11 years ago. A repair person came, pulled the oven out about 6 inches and inserted a pointed tool (an awl or skewer works great) and reset the oven. He then tried to charge me for this!! On my oven it just looks like a tiny hole. It works every time! And yes, my oven never works again after I clean it without doing this. Good luck.
