Display lights up and accepts function settings but none of the elements come on so no heat. I was going to replace the thermal fuse but when I opened the back/side of the housing, I noticed a blackened patch on the board (see photo). Could use some help diagnosing the problem. Thanks!
My guess is that the white sleeve covers a push-on spade connector which is loose, causing it to get hot. If you pull it off, clean it up and squeeze it slightly with a pair of pliers, you should be able to make it fit much more tightly and make a better contact.
For me, my 10 years old Bov800xl stopped heating all of a sudden, thought it was the end…all the panel fonctions were fine but no heat and no sound, …unscrewed the thousands screws to remove cap, after a day, I succeeded, … ended up trying a number of things, till I had nothing to do left but to remove the mother board, like you can see on the picture above…and found that the fan connector, where the fan wire attach to the mother board, was a bit loose so unplug fan, and replug tigher. this simple fan connetion was my problem. The isolation of my old Breville must be the responsible, deteriorating with time, heating and cooling those connectors every use , *and It has been use, at least twice a day for 10 years… good luck to you all!
