I am in the process of repairing my Zanussi ZCV667mx lower oven, it
has two ovens. Basically the thermostat has failed meaning the over
heat thermostat has also gone. I noticed when looking at the spare
parts available that there is also what is described as a 230
centigrade thermostat N0 and also described as TEMP OVERHEAT 230 N C
KLIXON. What is this for. Is it for the Grill protection. I ask this
as the grill works but when on after a while the house RCB trips and
as yet not sure what would cause this.
Any advice appreciated


klaxon is french for a (car) horn and I think a siren/alarm too.

Klixon is a trade name. A play on "Clicks On", as if
at one time they made relays or roller microswitches.

For an item like that which bolts into place, check
the datasheet for the torque wrench setting. The lower
temperature ones are sometimes affixed with a bit
of thermal grease to aid the (lousy) contact mechanism.

The price on those has gone up a lot over the years.
Middlemen for the win.
