BAUMATIC B151 main oven not heating and has tripped electric

by / Thursday, 04 February 2016 / Published in

Hi Paul! My Baumatic B151 Built-In Electric Single Oven is not heating, when I first turned on the cooker it tripped out. Now the cooker turns on and the display lights come on but the cooker does not seem to work and start heating up. Can you help?

Hi Bill

 

 If your Baumatic B151 Single Oven is not heating or tripping the electric supply there is a good chance that the fan oven element has blown you may have a Baumatic B151, B151B, B151SS, B151SS-B Oven please check your id label before ordering. I have included some videos below to help you test and then replace the element. Also I have include a link here for list of parts for your Baumatic B151 Oven cooker.

  • The oven will not turn on
    The first thing you need to check is that the oven timer is not on auto if it is turn it on to manual.
  • No Heat in Oven
    If the fan is running and the thermostat light comes on but you get no heat (or just the thermostat light on in non-fan ovens and cookers) then the probability is that the fan element or oven elements have failed.
  • Electricity trips (Rcd) when I turn the oven on or grill
    This is normally an element that has gone to earth, This is a well-known fault with electric ovens, the insulation breaks down in the elements and trips the RCD , best way is to stick a meter on each element and check that they have not got earth leaks on them. But this can also be a wiring fault.
  • The grill element doesn't work
    This would usually indicate that the grill element is faulty. Check these: Grill element, Oven changeover switch, Overheat thermostat, Main oven thermostat, if used to regulate the grill temperature.
  • The oven fan is not working or spinning correctly (slow) or is noisy
    The fan motor may need to be replaced see video on this also the cooling fan motor can cause same problems.
  • The oven overheats and burns everything
    Normally this is a simple thermostat failure which would manifest itself as this symptom.
  • The oven or cooker cuts out after it's been on for a while
    This is an overheating problem which can be caused by the fan motor or main oven thermostat or a faulty safety thermostat that will be causing the problem. It can also be caused by a failure of the cooling fan, where fitted, but usually these go noisy before failing, Safety thermostats are used to prevent the oven or cooker overheating and will shut the oven down.

    Hi,

    My Baumatic B155 oven stopped working. I reset the breaker and got it to heat 1 pizza, but the error light came on at the end and now it’s completely dead, no light in the display at all. Reset the breaker again but no dice.

    Any thoughts? The unit is about 15 years old, moderate usage I’d say. Any comments or leads appreciated!

    Greetings from Berlin!

    Hi

    I have a cooker but the removable plate at the back of the oven which covers the fan element will not screw as the screw holes have eroded and are much larger holes now which means i can not fit a screw.

    Do you have any suggestions as to how i can fit it in this situation.

    Many thanks
    Will
