Double electric oven, main oven not heating up

[Gill Devlin]

do I need to replace the whole double oven or can I get the main oven, thermostat I assume, repaired....

very likely can be repaired, but it depends what its worth to you... have a look ..... at e spares they do some videos maybe could do it yourself.... but you would need a voltage tester and few other tools to maybe test it first...

 

[Gill Devlin]

ta, will investigate tomoro, worth a look instead of forking out a lot of cash...

Sounds like the element to me. Fairly simple to fix if you can do a bit of DIY. Otherwise get someone in to do it. Either way far cheaper than a new oven!!

element probably alright

You may be able to replace the components that you find U/S but it's doubtful you will be able to repair any of them! Not these days anyway, this is the throw away age were in now ...lol!!!

Most newer domestic ovens have two elements per oven (one at the top of the oven and one at the bottom). It is unusual for them both to go at the same time. Is the oven not heating up at all, or not reaching it's set temperature? If it's the latter then maybe just one element has failed (not enough heat to reach the set temperature).

china man , china making and selling to us, not like they use to make it...

Stuff you buy for use in China, ...You CAN repair!! It's the stuff they make for the Western countries you can't ...lol!!!

 

[Engineer54]

A lot of stuff they make in China, is in fact pretty good. Don't forget a great deal of what comes out of China these days are in actual fact made in/at Western company factories over there, made with exactly the same machinery and supervision levels an with the company name on it.


China is at the present time is just how Japan was when i was a lad, and everyone was complaining about imported Japanese crap!! How many now, would say anything like that about goods and components manufactured in Japan?? These day's anything made in Japan carries a premium tag to it now... lol!!! How things change, and in what is, in relatively quite short periods of time!!!

 

[davelerave]

nothing wrong with chinese stuff

you copy

90% sure its the element, not that hard to replace!, can be grim if the oven dirty tho!

 

[Gill Devlin]

so can anyone recommend an electrician in the liverpool, uk area who could do this....

 

[telectrix]

could also be the control switch/thermostat. seen a few where the spade terminals have burnt through. sometimes just a case of fitting new spade connectors to the wires onto the stat.

Before going to any conclusions, just discuss the matter with the professional electrician. He might suggest you better.
