Tricity Bendix Oven Thermostat

[wiseman777]

As a newbie to this forum I'd like to say hello to everyone.

Some help needed here. I've a Tricity Bendix BD921/2B oven. All works well apart from an over heating top oven (thermostat fault) but the original thermostat has been made obsolete and I cannot find an alternative. The original thermostat manufacturer number is 3110224015.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what thermostat could replace this?

Many thanks in anticipation.

That link goes to an obsolete part.

Look here

If you cant see your part contact them.
Thermostat info
Capillary length
bulb length / dia
Sensing range.
Contacts, ie is a switch also, (double banked).
There will be a manufactures ref number, you could always contact the manufacture of the t/stat.

As you are saying its an obsolete part, then it must be an old oven.

Hi jj4091,
thanks for a quick response.
Yes, that's the part but as it says, the part is discontinued, and I've not found any alternative.

Hi Diyisfun,
Thanks for the advice, I tried espares and electrolux to no avail.

Yes the oven is quite old now but it's not used often. The main oven thermostats are easy to get but the top oven thermostat is proving elusive.

Hi jj4091,
Thanks for the info I will check that out; I was wondering if a universal one would do.

If you look at the link from jj4091, I didn't know there was such a thing. Cheaper than a new cooker.
If you buy that one & the capillary is too long, just coil it & ensure it is not near any terminals.

Hi Diyisfun,
You are so right; given the top oven only gets used 2 or 3 times a year it is so much cheaper than a new oven.
Thanks for your advice.
