Broken Oven
Was cooking my Pizza tonight when the oven lost all electricery. So I switched it back on at the fuse box and all seemed well. All the lights & fans come on as usual but it doesn't heat up even though the red light saying it's heating up is on, and the electricity meter is hardly moving.
The grill still works  So any ideas on fixing it? cheers Stu <<<<<<<<enjoying  half cooked Pizza

Re: Broken Oven
Sounds like the main heating element has shorted. If it's a few years old I'd buy a new one.

Re: Broken Oven
Slide it out and you may find an overheat stat mounted on the top. Depress the red button and it may work - not all ovens have them accessible. Dont forget tp turn the power off before.
nb650 p.s. why dont you finish the pizza with the grill? |

Re: Broken Oven
Probably the main heating element has blown, usually very easy to replace and would probably cost 20-30 quid

Re: Broken Oven
Heating elements will usually trip the circuit when they fail. Almost certainly the problem.
Loads of places online where you can get elements, make sure you have exactly the right make/model though, there are zillions of different designs. Usually pretty straightforward to replace, just normal screwdrivers etc required. ISOLATE BEFORE GOING IN THERE!!!!

Re: Broken Oven
+1 for element. Happened to our oven. I got Dad to fix it though so am unable to offer further advice.
