I'm new here and can't figure it out... I want to post a question in the DIY forum but it says private... Although it also says DIYers welcome. Any tips? Thanks!

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I am trying to replace an obsolete EFG 205 Thermostat (3 terminals) with a EGO 320 Thermostat (2 terminals).[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]There were three wires connected to the original thermostat:[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Orange (to timer)[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]White (to thermal cutout I THINK?)[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Yellow (to main PCB)[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The new thermostat only has 2 terminals, so what connections should I make?[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Any help or advice you can give would really be much appreciated. I've already spent £100 on spares and I don't want to buy a new oven! Thank you.[/FONT]

I think your best course of action is to find a local "bod" who does appliance repairs and outline the problem before they come to you....

Out of interest what have "Stoves" recommended?
