Changing a cooker thermostat *

Image
Changing a cooker thermostat BE SAFE !! Make sure the electricity is turned off when working with electrical equipment. Turn off THE ELECTRICITY to the cooker at the mains switch or at the consumer unit. Many cookers use the same thermostat 46THC15/F5 This main oven thermostat can be replaced with a ET51001/F5 In some cases a ET51001/J5 thermostat is supplied. Not sure what the differences are. My cooker is ZANUSSI ZCE7700X (94852202200)Product # 94852202200 but the same thermostat is used on many cookers. The instructions supplied are generic. If you are unsure about the installation it may be best to use a qualified electrician.

Replacing the cooling fan in a cooker *

Image
Replacing the cooling fan in a cooker Most electric cookers have a cooling fan to help the oven cool down during and after use. As with all mechanical devices they eventually fail. After about 20 years of use the one in our oven has become extremely noisy and I suspect the bearing has worn out. Replacing the cooling fan is not that difficult. The same process applies to many similar items. ZANUSSI ZCE 7700X
