AEG Cooker Problem

[Pete1982]

Hello everyone

Going to have a look at my mate's AEG U7101-4-M Double Oven. It tripped the circuit breaker the other day and on resetting the breaker the main bottom oven does not work. Nothing on it is lit up or anything, however the little top oven is working. Just wondering if there is anyone out there that has come across this problem before. Thank you.

is it on a RCD? the obvious culprits are the element and possibility of burnt off terminations to element, stat, switch etc.

Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure if it is on an RCD, going to have a look later on, just trying to get any advice before I do. Trying to save him a bit of money before I have to tell him to phone an AEG engineer, ha ha.

to phone an AEG engineer, ha ha.

last resort. i went to a customer who called the manufacturers out to a blown thermal overload. they charged her £65 for the part ( i get them for £10 ) and £70 call-out/labour. then VAT on top. when it went again , i did it for £15 parts, £40 labour. she well chuffed and got me back a week later to replace SWA to hot tub, new garage CU, and a load of other work coming up.

Most likely the thermal overload on the supply to that oven, had it the other week on my own.

Cheers for that, nice one!

Cheers for the reply. What did you do then, is a case of just replacing the element? Thank you.

only replace element after you have determined that it's faulty. you need to be there and do some investigation before deciding on spending shekels on elements.

Nice one, thank you!
