Re: BELLING FORMAT 647. MAIN OVEN ANTICS
Follow-up to my original Sept 29th post.
Bought a main oven thermostat for 28-odd quid,spent 90 minutes carrying out the first- time replacement procedure and…hey presto – we have a fully operational Belling Format cooker.
Next time it happens,I estimate a stat replacement time of 45 minutes.
Hope there’s a small crumb of comfort here for Format owners contending with a failed thermostat.
Re: BELLING FORMAT 647. MAIN OVEN ANTICS
Thanks for your reply,gandh 1. And your points are well noted. Serious family circumstances prevented any action being taken re this cooker until now. Muddled thinking was that as the top oven and grill were working normally,we could get by with it temporarily. Perhaps not that muddled though…because the Belling was constantly monitored during cooking and was always switched off at the mains supply once the cooking session ended
Probably,by doing this,we not only eliminated the fire risk,but also prevented the main oven fan element from burning out. DEFINITELY not recommended to readers here though!
