Description

Original safety mechanism component 168°C for Sauter gas ovens Sauter 8065347

The sauter safety mechanism component 8065347 is an original spare part for gas ovens and gas controllers from the PCV and E601 series. The component acts as an automatic protection mechanism that disconnects the electrical circuit as soon as the temperature rises above 168 degrees Celsius - preventing overheating that could cause damage. An original part that ensures an exact fit and complete safety.

Why does the oven suddenly stop working?

The most common reason for an oven to turn itself off and not come back on is a tripped thermal protector. This component, also known as a Thermal Limiter or Clixon, cuts off the electrical circuit when the temperature rises above the allowable threshold. This is a critical safety mechanism that prevents burns, damage to internal components, and in severe cases – a fire hazard. If the oven has stopped heating and is not responding to any commands – first check to see if the safety mechanism component has burned out or been tripped.

This part wears out over time and is prone to failure after years of intensive use. Replacement with a genuine part as soon as a failure is identified is essential to returning to normal and safe operation.

A moment before ordering – safety above all! To ensure a successful repair and maintain the longevity of the device, it is mandatory to use only original parts. Non-original parts may cause damage and void the terms of service. Now click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page and our system will immediately confirm that the part is suitable for you.

What are the signs that the safety mechanism component needs replacement?

The three clear signs of a failure in the safety mechanism component: the oven does not heat at all even though the heating element is working, the appliance turns itself off in the middle of cooking and does not return to operation, and a test with a multimeter shows no electrical continuity in the component. From the experience of our technicians, in about 65% of cases where a gas oven stops heating – the failure is in the safety mechanism component and not in the heating element itself. It is important to check the safety mechanism component before replacing more expensive components.

Why only an original part?

The safety mechanism component is a safety component – ​​there is no room for compromise here. Non-original parts may operate at a different cut-off temperature than intended, which means that the oven will not receive real protection. The original part 8065347 is calibrated exactly to 168°C – the threshold set by Sauter for these models.

💡 Tip for locating the model sticker: On combination ovens and hobs, the model sticker (E-Nr) is usually found on the inside door frame, or on the back of the appliance. It is important to check the full model number before ordering.

📋 Technical specifications

🔧 How do you replace the safety mechanism component?

⚠️ Important: Replacing a safety mechanism component in a gas oven requires professional technical knowledge and exposure to gas and voltage components. It is recommended to call a certified technician from the official service. Unprofessional installation may cause additional damage, a safety hazard, and void the terms of service.

For the technician: The component is usually located at the back of the baking chamber, next to the heating element. The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before any operation. Removing the component includes disconnecting the two connecting wires and the fastening screws.

💡 Tip from the experts

Preventive maintenance that saves repairs: The safety mechanism component wears out faster when the baking chamber accumulates grease and carbon on its walls. A dense layer of carbon impairs airflow and creates localized hot spots that repeatedly activate the temperature protector – shortening its life. In the experience of our technicians, cleaning the baking chamber every 3-4 months extends the life of the safety mechanism component by at least two times. A 20-minute cleaning saves part replacement and the cost of calling a technician.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a safety mechanism component and a furnace thermostat?

The thermostat regulates the oven temperature during normal cooking and is always on. The safety mechanism component is a one-time component that serves as a last line of defense – cutting off power only in the event of an emergency overheating. Both are required for the oven to operate properly and safely. Failure of the protector usually prevents any operation of the oven.

Is it possible to reset the safety mechanism component without replacing it?

A Clixon/KSD safety mechanism component is disposable in most cases. Once it burns out, it must be replaced with a new part. Attempting to bridge the old component is dangerous and may cause a fire hazard. A new, original part is the only safe solution.

How do you know that the safety mechanism component has burned out and not another component?

A simple test with a multimeter in continuity mode: If there is no electrical current in the component – ​​it is burned out and must be replaced. The test takes a minute. If there is continuity – the problem is probably in another component such as the heating element or thermostat, and it is worth contacting a technician for a full diagnosis.
