3 weeks ago I had a kitchen fitted by MFI that included a new Diplomat fan assisted electric oven ADP3700 model. I used the oven to heat (top and bottom plate option – rather than fan assist) and the base heating element has melted down the bottom of the oven – resulting in a kitchen full of black smoke and a caustic smog. I think the thermostat is faulty. Has anyone else heard of this problem?

Sounds likely – or an element gone to earth.

Not on the forum, as far as I can tell. You are under warranty, so get them out to it.

I have read many of the oven complaints on this site and have seen a number of complaints about Diplomat ovens. The problem that my oven has is a result of it being used as a ‘conventional oven’ – is this meaningful? The base plate has gone crispy – all the paintwork has melted.
Alycat had a similar problem that was described as a flaw in the enamel, and ghostly1 had a problem oven that cremated everything. These ovens are the same brand but different model – does that count for anything?
I have noted that AndreaStewart had a similar problem with the ‘fan element’ and Gweeks oven had a ‘terminal block cover melted’.
The oven supplier MFI sent an engineer out who was not at all helpful – he spent less than a minute here . They seem to be passing the buck.did you have anything on the base of the oven ? eg Foil to keep the oven base clean ?
Diplomat ovens arent all made by the same company, I think the new ones are being made by Beko, but they buy in such bulk you may have one of the other makes that are branded up “Diplomat”.Re: Diplomat oven model adp3700 meltdown
No – there was no foil or anything else on the bottom. I didnt know Diplomat could be Beko. I was tols by MFI that Diplomat are a Stoves brand – I had no idea this could be beko or another cheaper brand. 🙁

Diplomat are an mfi brand and it is they who then ask manufacturers to build for them,the majority of ovens were Stoves.
