Re: Baumatic BT2710SS – Fan Oven not Heating up Properly

Hi K YOU are a STAR thank so much for not only finding us not only the part but one at more than 1/2 the price of the official spare part. Wow £100 I too cld not believe the cost even more thankful I did not call engineer then with callout chare ontop of the part price and Labour ouch!

K do you reckon its fairly straightforward to replace using the following advice. I imagine 1st one is EXCELLENT & Very reliable but what about the other one:-

and this advice http://www.ransomspares.co.uk/advice/cooker-repair/replacing-faulty-oven-fan.htm

Prices of some manufacturers parts is simply crazy at times only the other week we needed to replace a simple plastic light cover for our cookerhood. Not only wld this have been the 3rd time it needed replacing (seems to just drop down eve 6 months or so, seriously either when wiping over it with cloth or also when noone is in the same room, just drops down) The problem is the design apparantly the clip is too small for its purpose :rolls:

Allegedly the manufacter had been notified plenty of times by the parts company & consumers after multiple complaints espec as it cost just under £20 a throw plus nearly a tenner postage !!!( thankfully the parts comapny was very understnading and replaced 2 of them on warranty). We just found out recently the cooker hood model is no longer being made and the part is no longer available either not even from the parts manufacturer who supplied the Cooker Hood manufacturer in the first place grrrr .

The official advice was “sorry cant help as we dont make that model anymore” the unofficial advice go to B&Q and see if theres a cooker hood light cover thats a close as poss match to the part we need and somehow get it to fit, suggestion were jam it ,stick it, glue it tape it (obv with suitable materials for the job) but seriously!

As we currently have no light cover so grease just goes up the exposed hole ???? Weve not found anything that works yet.

as you were so helpful with teh fan element I dont spose you cld maybe help with this too, any sugestionsthat are better than the one weve been given???

Chimney Style Cooker Hood – “Blanco BE-C90-493 “
Light cover part # – BA 10201355500 – LAMP LENS

Again I Thankyou in advance for your time & support
