Your oven thermostat is the part of the cooker which regulates the temperature. If you have a faulty oven thermostat, you will know about it. As the heat is no longer regulated, this could cause burnt or even undercooked food - and nobody wants that!

How To Tell if Your Oven Thermostat is Faulty

If you find your oven is not cooking your food properly, the fault is either with the oven heating element or the oven thermostat. The only way you can determine if it is your oven thermostat is by testing it. 

You can test your faulty oven thermostat using the following steps. 

• Unplug the oven from the wall. 

• Depending on your oven type, the thermostat could be located behind the back panel, beneath the backsplash, under the exhaust hood or below the control panel. The thermostat is a thin piece of metal usually attached to a coil of wire. 

• If you then remove the thermostat from the oven, you can use a multimeter to test it. 

• Ensure the multimeter is calibrated and then turn the dial to the lowest ohm rating. 

• Place the multimeter on the thermostat. If the thermostat has a reading of zero or as close to zero as possible, it is working fine. However, if it has no reading at all, your oven thermostat is faulty and will need replacing.

When preparing a family meal or showing off your culinary skills, the oven is one of the most frequently used appliances. Whether you have a gas or electric oven, we'll discuss what to do when you suffer from this issue.

Please note: we always recommend you use an electrical or gas-safe registered engineer to carry out repairs.

Signs You Have A Problem

Is your oven taking longer than it should to cook your meals? Have you been following all cooking instructions to the letter - selecting the right temperature and leaving your food in for exactly as long as you're told - only to find that, when you open the door, everything is still lukewarm and half-raw?

If so, the problem may be that your oven isn't getting hot enough. Just because you're turning the knob to 200°C, doesn't mean that the oven is actually reaching that temperature.

If you're constantly having to pop your dinner back in for another few minutes just to get it cooked properly, there's probably a problem with your appliance that needs to be addressed.

Common Causes

Now that you've discovered the first signs your oven is not heating up correctly, it's time to find the cause of the problem. Here is our recommended checklist for electric and gas ovens:

1. Defective electric oven thermostat.
2. Faulty electric oven element.
3. Broken gas oven thermostat.
4. Damaged gas oven burner or ignition electrode.

You'll Need

Once you've found the culprit, you'll need to find the correct replacement part. For this you'll need the following:

• Model and serial number - this will be found on the data badge on the cooker/oven.
• Owner's manual (optional).

Defective Electric Oven Thermostat

If you notice that your electric oven isn't heating up to the correct temperature and food comes out under-cooked, this many be caused by a defective electric oven thermostat.

Thermostats measure the temperature inside the oven cavity, switching the electric element on and off to maintain the desired temperature.

The Fix

Firstly, check that the temperature sensor isn't touching the oven walls, as this will affect the accuracy of the internal temperature readings. If it is, reposition so it isn't touching the wall and see if this helps.

If you're still suffering with the same issue, you'll most likely need to replace the whole thermostat. Luckily these are inexpensive parts that are around £10-£30.

The Fix

If you don't hear the gas igniting and the clicking stops, you'll probably need to replace the ignition electrode. Luckily these are just £5-£20.

Beko has long been a manufacturer of household appliances, and is one of the largest producers of appliances in Europe. But, even with the reputation they hold, their appliances can be prone to faults.

If you're experiencing any problems related to your Beko oven, you've come to the right page. We're going to run down some of the most common problems you might be experiencing with your Beko oven, and what you can do to resolve them. 

Overheating Issues

If your Beko oven is always overheating, we can help! There could be a number of parts that could be causing this issue, but don't worry as we offer a range of replacements.

• A faulty Thermostat

Your thermostat is responsible for regulating the heat inside your oven; but obviously, if this part is not functioning properly, then the heat inside your oven will not be regulated properly, causing it to over or under cook your meals. This can be a major issue, as you'll have to constantly check your meals whilst it's cooking to see when it is accurately cooked. Thankfully, we sell a selection of affordable oven thermostats that will rectify this issue, and will ensure your appliance is cooking your meals accurately once again.

• A faulty cooling fan

Another part that could be related to your overheating issue, is your cooling fan. The role of this part is pretty self explanatory - it cools your oven cavity to prevent it from over heating. If this part stops working, then trying to keep your oven cavity cool will be a major issue! If your cooling fan has become faulty, you can purchase a replacement from here.

Prolonged Cooking Times

Everyone wants their meals cooked instantly, so when your cooker is taking longer than usual to cook your meals, it can become really frustrating. Again, there could are a few parts related to this issue, but thankfully we have the replacements to resolve this issue.

• Underperforming oven element 

Your oven element is the cooker part that heats up and distributes the heat that allows you to cook your meals. And therefore, if it begins to start to become faulty and work insufficiently, you will notice that your cooker performance will deminish, and that cooking times would have increased. If your oven element is no longer performing as good as it used to, purchase a replacement today!

• Oven seal deattaching 

Your oven seal is a strip of rubber that is attached to the trim of your oven door which protects the edge of your oven door as well helping your oven to retain the heat inside the cavity. If the seal begins to come away from your oven door, heat will be allowed to escape, resulting in your oven taking longer to heat up and cook your meals. To ensure your oven is retaining heat again, purchase a replacement from our range of oven door seals.

Oven no longer igniting

If your oven burner is having trouble igniting or the electrode is no longer sparking, your oven won't produce any heat which will result in your oven being unable to cook your meals. However, this problem can easily be resolved by purchasing one of our replacements.
