oven repair
The main oven on my built in double oven cooker packed up last night. The oven does not heat up but the top oven and the grill still work
correctly.
Is this a fixable thing or do i need to spend the money i have saved for new seats on a new oven instead.

Does the oven fan run, and does the stat light come on? if yes then most likely the element, if no, check that the timer is on manual and not on
auto.
You can get element from here
On 90% of ovens you can replace the element from the front, with the oven still in the cavity
I replace 3-4 a week, by the way, It's me job
Average time,30mins start to finish.
A how to do it video here

I did mine about a month ago - I had to take the whole oven out cos it was rear mounted - its still pretty simple, if a bit awkward!
Cost me £14. A bit better than a new oven!

Well would u know that my oven is up the spout too, its a Tecnik TKc241 electric and is overcooking everything. You can feel the thermostat click in
and out but somethings not right, being a double element (top and bottom) oven would it cause it to quickly burn stuff if one of the elements have
gone?
pot noddles for the win

£35 flat rate labour charge,no call out fee ,free estimate.
Most manufactures call out is around £100.
You pay for expertise and the ability to diagnose the fault in the first place,and of course, I have to get there, and don't get paid when off
sick or on holiday
