Cannon Pembroke – oven door handle loose

[NeilM]

Sorry – can’t find label with model number. Suspect it’s on the back and it’s very difficult to slide it out from kitchen units. All-gas model, bought around 2003. Purely a mechanical problem.

The screw fixing the horizontal handle on the main, bottom, oven door has come loose (at the catch end). I can see the screw between the inner and outer panels but my ‘cranked’ screwdriver is too big to fit in through the gap at the top. Is it actually easier than it looks to get at that screw without dismantling too much of the door?

Thanks in advance – and thanks for past help on our washing machine.

Cheers
NeilM

Not that easy to tell from the diagrams but it does look as though the door will need splitting.

Update – got it fixed. For anyone else doing a search:

Removed inner glass from door (it needed a good clean anyway!), making sure there was a thick towel on the tiled floor beneath it. Tried reaching in through that opening with angled screwdriver but couldn’t get it sitting properly in screw-head (Pozidriv).

Removed screw at top of side panel (directly above catch housing and next to handle’s screw) and found there was enough flex in the panel to allow screwdriver in from the top. Fiddly – probably less than a quarter-turn each time – but eventually got it tightened enough (worked on basis it was driving into plastic and took it gently). Spent a long time cleaning glass and discovered it was actually transparent :boops:

Thanks iadom – your response encouraged my laziness to take a closer look and find a way 🙂

Cheers
Neil
