Re: Creda Fan Oven not working
When you say backplate, do you mean the backplate at the rear ‘outside’ of the oven, or the back panel inside? The thermostat is a long pencil thin tube with a fine capillary leading out of the oven cavity. Sometimes it is clipped to the inner back panel but I don’t think it is on this model. What you may be describing is the glass cover for the internal bulb. It is a a normal threaded screw fit, just unscrew it and inner back panel will come away.
