Question about Belling DB3 Dual Fuel (Electric and Gas) Kitchen Range
The fan assisted electric oven will cut out when using for longer periods of time or at high temperatures. The oven turns off ( including the fan ) and cannot be turned on again. All other functions on the cooker still operate ( e.g. the small oven ). Note that this is not the normal temperature control/regulation. This is a complete power cut out to the main oven. When left for 30 mins ot 1 hour the oven can be operated again. This happens at around 30 to 40mins at the highest temperature and takes longer at lower temperatures - making it difficult to cook the Christmas Turkey! The cooker is 3 years old but this started to happen when it was around 12 months old. Any ideas would be appreciated Thanks Nibor
There is an overheat stat and this is operating and cutting out the oven. the causes are several but here are the main things to look for: oven stat is faulty causing the oven to overheat. you should check over the range to see if stat is reasonably accurate. overheat stat itself is faulty. there is another stat which turns on the casing fan. (this is the fan which is out of sight - not the fan inside the oven) if this stat is faulty and not turning on the casing fan, then the overheat stat will operate. the casing fan is faulty or jammed. lack of ventilation. see if you can narrow it down a bit and get back to me if you wish

Thanks - Based on your options I am sure its connected with casing fan or its tehremostat as I have never heard the sound of a secondary fan operating ( even when new ! ).
I presume that this would be difficult to fix on my own
