My daughter said her Howdens oven has packed up after 4 years.
Apparenty the oven / grill selector switch had been very stiff - now
it has failed.

I really don't feel inclined to get involved - 10 miles away - very
small kitchen - Strip it to remove part - check elements - put oven
back (no where else for it - await part - go back and fit it. Can I
be arsed...?




Back to the oven! Apparently the fan would always run and they would switch
it off at the mains after allowing it to cool.

Anyway I have ordered a new selector switch - it had suffered from burned
contact and eventually had fallen apart.

Investigating the fan - I got it to stop by disconnecting a thermal switch
in the top of the oven. Checked the device and is in Normally Closed. I
think it is a thermal protection switch - the same as the one in the back
of the oven. Assembly error?

However, on EBayI cannot find a fan thermostat for the Lamona LAM3401.Other
models have a 70c cutout. The instructions make reference to the fan
stopping when cooling is complete. (Apparently it never did)
