Our electric oven has stopped heating up. Everything else works - the fan, the grill etc - but it just won't heat up. Being completely non technically minded I have the following requests for assistance -

1 - What has happened? Is someone stealing the heat? Is it too close to the freezer? (ok, i'm not really that bad but would still appreciate your ideas).

2 - Who actually fixes ovens? Electricians? My usual answer to this would be 'Dad' but I have got to grow up some time.

3 - Any reccomendations?

Sounds like the element in your oven could have burnt out - that's what happened to ours earlier this year.

As our cooker wasn't that old we got on to the manafacturers who came and fixed it in a couple of days.

Perhaps this is your kitchen's way of saying you need to eat out more.

(I use my cooker for storage).

I wish I could crawl into it tonight, it's so hot!

HottyMcBuff, you can at least console yourself with the fact that it's perfect BBQ weather at the minute, until it gets fixed!

1 - Er, well.

2 - Oven fixers, try domestic appliance repairs in the Yellow Pages.

3 - See 2. :wink: I could do it, I also know several good domestic appliance engineers, but I'm 100 and odd miles away, sorry. :(

"I'm 100"! Wow! Must be our oldest forummer! :hihi:

Never mind how many odd miles you live away, how about coming to a forum meet Lurch? There's plenty of space to park a zimmer! :rolleyes:
