[pintor 32]

My indesit oven has packed in, can anyone give an idea of the cost of installing another, or can it be done by anyone with diiy skills?

It's no more difficult than fitting a plug,3 wires connect to fitting in wall,turn electric off pull cooker out ,disconnect wires,move cooker,put new cooker in place,connect wires all done.

Thanks,Its built in under the hob, does that make it more difficult?

Nope, piece of cake.

 

Probably 4 screws or so holding the oven to the unit, disconnect the wiring and it'll slide right out.

PM sent.

 

Likiest thing to fail is the element,typically about £25  for a new one.

If you take the old one to Sismans they would test it for you to confirm it's no good.

Typically 3 spade terminals and 1 fixing bolt/ screw

Electric ovens are usually just plugged in to a 13 amp socket.

Depends on the oven. A single one is, a double will be hard wired

Thanks everyone for the advice,much appreciated 👍

As has been already said, its most likely a failed element but should you need to swap out the oven and its hard wired (ie not plugged in to a 13A socket) then ensure you tighten the hard wired connecting terminals firmly, loose connections can cause arcing and possibly a fire.

My free standing over is playing. Sometimes it switches on and sometimes not. I bought it second hand, but I am thinking about getting another second hand one from ebay.

The gap is just over 60cm, will a 50ch oven look odd? Maybe people just get some sort of strip to cover the gap?
