Possible Causes
Tripped non‑resettable thermal fuse, Failed resettable overheat thermostat, Poor airflow around oven, Loose wiring at thermostat terminals
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate the oven from mains power and allow it to cool completely.
- Locate thermal devices: From the rear or top, locate the thermal cut‑out(s) mounted on or near the oven cavity. Some Salter ovens use both a manual‑reset thermostat and a one‑shot thermal fuse.
- Check for reset button: If a thermostat has a small button in the centre, press it firmly to reset. You may hear a click.
- Test continuity: With a multimeter, test each thermostat and thermal fuse. Any device that remains open circuit at room temperature must be replaced.
- Inspect wiring and airflow: Ensure wiring to the thermostat is secure and not heat‑damaged. Check that the cooling fan operates and that vents are not blocked, to prevent repeat overheating.
- Replace faulty parts: Fit new Salter‑specified thermal cut‑outs or thermostats, transferring any insulation or mounting brackets as required.
Warning: Never bypass a thermal cut‑out; it is a critical safety device.
