Thanks Dave
I.assume I can only view the contact by dismantling the switch and in any event the switch is not designed to be repairable. The price seems very reasonable for once!
New switch seems to be the next step

Checked output on control switch – 9 position switch- no voltage output on connection to fan element. All other switch positions working perfectly. Do I need a new switch or am I missing something ?

Sorry – Britannia 90, twin oven range

Re: Britannia oven door hinge receivers

Done! Had to remove various cover plates in “roof” of plate warming space and also fix the upper brackets that holds the top of the rollers in place – the spot welds that attach the brackets bracket to the oven frame had rusted through but managed to get a couple of self tapping screws in.
Don’t think I’d recommend anyone to buy a Britannia range cooker, pretty shoddy construction and also found Britannia Service and Advice desk very unhelpful, their only advice was to “get one of our engineers” but when pressed admitted that it would take 3-4 weeks before they could send an engineer!!

Re: Britannia oven door hinge receivers

Have now got hinges and receivers but I’m afraid that removing the receivers is not as straightforward as Zasky found with his oven.
My cooker is 1997 Dual fuel twin oven and it’s the large oven door that has the problem. The receivers are retained by a single screw as described by Zasky but there is no way that the receivers can fall into the plate warming space as he found with his oven.
Has anybody any further ideas as to how to get the receivers out and replaced??

Many thanks

George

Re: Britannia oven door hinge receivers

Thanks Zasky – sounds very simple! I’ll give it a go. I had noticed the screw that you refer to – both sides were very loose but I was reluctant to take the screws out completely in case I “lost” the receivers inside the oven casing!

Many thanks
