Possible Causes
Defective thermal cut-out thermostat, Blocked cooling vents causing overheating, Failed or weak cabinet cooling fan, Insufficient installation clearance around the cooker
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the cooker to cool fully and isolate the appliance from the mains before accessing thermostats or fans.
- Check installation: Verify that the cooker has the required clearances around and above the appliance as specified in the Leisure installation guide. Remove any items blocking ventilation slots.
- Inspect cooling fan: Access the top or rear of the cooker and ensure the cooling fan runs when the oven is on. If it is noisy, slow, or not running, replace the fan motor.
- Locate thermal cut-out: Find the thermal cut-out thermostat on the top or rear of the oven cavity. Some have a manual reset button; press it if present.
- Test thermostat: Check continuity at room temperature. A thermostat that remains open after cooling is faulty and must be replaced.
- Re-test: After replacing parts, run the oven and monitor for normal operation, ensuring F13 does not return.
