Cooling Fan Thermostat
Replacement oven cooling fan thermostat – compatible with Ariston, Creda, Hotpoint, Indesit and Whirlpool ovens & cookers as shown unless advised otherwise
Description
A replacement cooling fan thermostat for the Ariston, Creda, Hotpoint, Indesit and Whirlpool ovens and cookers listed below.
This small but important component monitors the temperature inside the top of the oven cavity and switches the cooling fan on when the temperature rises above a set threshold. The cooling fan pulls air through the appliance to keep the control panel, knobs, and fascia at a safe temperature during cooking, and the thermostat tells it when to start and stop. Without a working thermostat, the cooling fan may run constantly, fail to start, or stop prematurely, all of which can overheat the appliance's electronics and create a real safety risk.
Cooling fan thermostats fail in two main ways. Most commonly, the internal contacts stick closed, so the thermostat sends continuous voltage to the cooling fan and the fan keeps running long after the oven has cooled down. This is inconvenient and wastes energy, but it can also be an early warning that the appliance isn't cooling properly. The opposite fault — contacts stuck open — means the fan never starts, allowing heat to build up inside the cabinet and potentially causing the oven to shut down with an error code or, in serious cases, to overheat the control board. In some cases, the thermostat can also drift out of calibration and switch the fan on at the wrong temperature.
This thermostat is only known to fit the models as shown or as advised and will not fit any others because even if it looks the same, it probably won't be. Several may look alike but not be compatible; please take time to confirm this is correct before ordering. If you are unsure please don't hesitate to contact us and ask for assistance.
Technical Notes
Specifications: Type: cooling fan thermostat / limit switch. Switching temperature: approximately 115°C. Contact type: normally open (NO). Function: closes on temperature rise to activate the cooling fan, opens again as the appliance cools. Mounting: located on the oven roof, typically secured by a bracket or screw fixing. Connection: spade terminals. Product code: C00199503. Suitable for the Ariston, Creda, Hotpoint, Indesit and Whirlpool ovens and cookers listed below.
Fitment guidance: This cooling fan thermostat is known to fit only the models listed below, and will not fit any others. The model number is normally found on the rating plate on the rear of the appliance, behind the plinth or on the inner face of the oven door. Because several thermostats look almost identical while differing in switching temperature and terminal layout, always confirm the model number against the compatibility list rather than relying on appearance alone. If you are unsure whether this thermostat is suitable for your model, contact our parts advisors with the full model and serial number before ordering.
Diagnostic tip: Before ordering, isolate the appliance from the power supply and allow it to cool completely. Test the thermostat with a multimeter set to continuity. At room temperature, a normally open thermostat should show no continuity (open circuit). If it shows continuity at room temperature, the contacts are stuck closed and the thermostat needs replacing. To test the switching action, gently warm the thermostat body with a hairdryer on a low setting and watch for the multimeter to show continuity as the temperature rises — if it never switches, the thermostat is faulty. Check the cooling fan motor itself at the same time: with the thermostat bypassed or a known working thermostat fitted, the fan should run. If the fan does not run even with a good thermostat, the fault is likely with the fan motor or its wiring. Also inspect the thermostat's spade terminals for corrosion or a loose fit, and check the wiring loom for signs of heat damage.
Installation guide: 1. Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply at the wall and allow it to cool completely. 2. Remove the rear panel or the top panel, depending on the model, to access the thermostat on the oven roof. 3. Note the position of the two electrical connections and photograph them before removing anything. 4. Disconnect the spade terminals from the old thermostat, taking care not to pull on the wires. 5. Remove the screws or release the clips securing the thermostat and lift it out. 6. Fit the new thermostat in position, ensuring it sits flush against the mounting surface. 7. Reconnect the spade terminals to the correct tags. 8. Refit the panels. 9. Restore the power and switch on the oven to confirm the cooling fan starts when the appliance heats up. 10. Allow the oven to cool and confirm that the fan stops once the temperature has dropped.
Safety note: Always isolate the appliance from the mains before beginning any work and allow it to cool fully. The thermostat is located close to the oven cavity and the surrounding components may be hot. Never bypass the cooling fan thermostat — it is a safety device that protects the control panel and wiring from excessive heat. If the new thermostat does not resolve the problem, the cooling fan motor, the control board or the wiring may also be faulty, and these should be investigated by a qualified technician.

Common Faults & SymptomsThe following fault codes and symptoms are commonly reported when this part begins to fail. Use this as a diagnostic guide before ordering a replacement — if more than one of these is present, the part is the likely culprit. 1
Cooling Fan Runs Continuously After the Oven Is Switched Off
This is the most common symptom of a cooling fan thermostat with contacts stuck closed. The fan keeps running long after the oven has cooled down, sometimes for hours, because the thermostat still sends voltage to the fan motor. A brief period of fan running after the oven is switched off is normal, but if the fan never stops or runs for too long, the thermostat is the likely cause. Test the thermostat for continuity at room temperature — if it shows continuity when cold, it has failed.
2
Hotpoint Error Code F8 E2 (Cooling Fan Failure)
Displayed on Hotpoint ovens when the control board detects a problem with the cooling fan or its associated wiring. The appliance may limit or block normal operation to prevent more serious problems, and the oven may stop working unexpectedly during use. The fan may behave abnormally, or the code may return after you reset the power. A faulty cooling fan thermostat is a common underlying cause, as it prevents the fan from receiving the correct signal to start. Carry out a full power reset first, and if the code returns, inspect the thermostat, fan motor, and wiring.
3
Ariston / Indesit Error Code F53 (Cooling Fan or Sensor Fault)
Displayed on Ariston and Indesit ovens when the control board detects overheating or a fan failure. The oven may shut down repeatedly, with the cooling fan cycling on and off in short bursts, and the appliance may refuse to heat until the fault is resolved. The F53 error can point to either the cooling fan thermostat, the fan motor itself, or the temperature sensor. Test the thermostat for continuity first, as it is the most accessible and least expensive component to check. If the thermostat tests correctly, the fan motor or sensor may need further investigation.
4
Cooling Fan Does Not Start at All
If the cooling fan never runs, even when the oven has been on for some time, and the cabinet is hot, the thermostat contacts may be stuck open. Without the cooling fan, heat builds up inside the appliance and can affect the control panel, wiring and electronics. You may notice the fascia becoming unusually hot to the touch, or the oven may develop intermittent faults. Test the thermostat for continuity when warm — if it never closes, it needs replacing. Also check the fan motor for continuity and the wiring for breaks.
5
Oven Overheating or Shutting Down Mid-Cycle
If the cooling fan isn't running when it should, heat builds up inside the appliance and can trigger the oven's overheat protection, causing it to shut down partway through a cooking cycle. You may also notice the oven cooking at a higher temperature than set, or the control panel becoming very hot. A faulty cooling fan thermostat that doesn't activate the fan is a common cause. Check the thermostat and the fan motor before assuming the main oven thermostat is at fault.
6
Control Panel or Knobs Becoming Very Hot
The cooling fan keeps the control panel and knobs at a safe temperature. If the thermostat fails to activate the fan, or the fan itself is not working, the fascia can become uncomfortably hot during cooking. This is a safety concern, particularly in households with children, and can also shorten the life of the control board and other electronic components. Check the thermostat and fan motor if the panel feels unusually hot.
7
Cooling Fan Runs Intermittently or at the Wrong Time
If the cooling fan starts and stops unpredictably, or runs when the oven is cold, the thermostat may have drifted out of calibration or developed an intermittent fault. This can happen if the contacts become pitted or the thermostat body comes loose. Test the thermostat's switching action with a multimeter and a heat source to confirm whether it opens and closes at the correct temperature.
8
Oven Not Heating at All
In some cases, a completely non-functional cooling fan thermostat can prevent the oven from heating up at all, because the control board interprets the lack of fan operation as a fault and blocks the heating circuit as a safety measure. This is less common than the fan-running issues described above, but it is worth checking the thermostat if the oven does not heat and you find no other obvious cause.
9
Visible Damage to the Thermostat or Wiring
Inspect the thermostat and its spade terminals for signs of heat damage, corrosion or loose connections. Look for blackening or discolouration on the thermostat body, melted or brittle insulation on the wiring, and loose or corroded terminals. Any of these indicate the thermostat has been exposed to excessive heat and should be replaced. Check the wiring loom for damage at the same time, as heat from a faulty thermostat can affect the adjacent wires.
10
Oven Door or Surround Becoming Uncomfortably Hot
If the cooling fan is not running correctly, the outer door, handle and surrounding cabinet can become hotter than normal. This is a sign that heat is not being removed efficiently from the appliance and should be investigated promptly. While the cooling fan thermostat is not the only component involved in keeping the exterior cool, it is a common point of failure and should be tested if the appliance is running hotter on the outside than it used to.

Oven Thermostats.
An oven or cooker thermostat controls the temperature inside the oven cavity by switching power to the element within a +/-10-15% tolerance.
Fault Diagnosis
When a thermostat is faulty, symptoms are typically binary: the oven won’t heat at all, or it constantly heats and fails to cut out, resulting in burnt food. Safety thermostats operate similarly but are preset to a single cut-off temperature to prevent overheating.
Technical Testing
Almost all thermostats “break” the live supply once set temperature is reached. If the oven is overheating, the circuit remains closed regardless of setting. If it won’t heat, the thermostat fails to “make” the circuit to power the element.
Electrical Safety Warning
Oven thermostats carry live mains power. They must never be worked on while power is applied to the oven or cooker. Always isolate the appliance from the mains before inspection or replacement.
Sourcing Requirements
When buying a thermostat, precision is crucial. While they often appear identical, they vary significantly in temperature ranges, fitments, and knob offsets.
