Its a hotpoint BU52 and I replaced the element last week and now if I am too gentle when I close the oven door it just doesnt work. Any thoughts on what could cause this? thank you.

Hotpoint BU I cannot find a BU52 however there may be a switch on the frame where the door closes and this will need replacing.

Hotpoint BU Sorry that was BU72 not 52 (type error) December 10, 2009 at 11:48 am #306110 bazza500Participant Re: Oven only works when I slam the door closed? Hotpoint BU In that case there WILL be a switch on the oven frame that needs replacing. Power off if you are going to tackle this yourself.
