Re: Stoves Oven and Hob – Repair or Change?
I tested the oven as it was not cooking food properly. I think the underlying cause is that it is taking far too long to reach the set temperature. My current workaround is to set the temperature about 2 – 3 gas marks higher than needed and turn the temperatgure down to the correct setting after about 30 minutes. Of course this wont work when you need a very high setting to start with.
Re: Stoves Oven and Hob – Repair or Change?
I used a multimeter with a temp probe lead. I don’t expect it is very accurate but it does show that the oven warms up towards the set temperature but turns off and falls back about 10 – 20 deg C before reigniting. Each time it reignites it warms up a few degrees higher but it can take 30 minutes or more to get there. By the way these reading are taken after the oven has indicated that it is at the correct temperature. I haven’t kept a record of actual temperatures but I could run some tests again if you think it would help. In any case thanks very much for taking the time to reply.
