Done similar 20 years ago, just simple stuff.

Probably invalidates the out of date warranty though

cheers pto, so if i cut them off the switch this wont bypass the oven element or the control knob?

Just be aware: By doing this your altering the manufacturers design & if anything happens you'll be liable to prosecution.

And saving yourself the price of a new oven
Swings and roundabouts

Or buy a BEKO fridge & it'll do the job for you with no modification at all.
