    If it’s a later stoves build only the hinge itself would be required.

    Stoves didn’t make the gas hobs, they just made ovens and cookers for them, diplomat hobs were cheapo ones made abroad somewhere, the generator included the ignition switch and if I remember rightly was quite expensive.

    cheers

    If this is a gas oven you cannot do this yourself, the fan on this is used for combustion as well as cooling making it a job only for a competent engineer.

    The last inspection that I had last year i advised that things like hob tops,thermocouple and ignition generators was changed by my son who’s not gas safe registered and part of his routine was to gas sniff anything accessible,If gas was found then the house would be isolated and transco contacted.Advised NO gas pipe or fitting was disturbed ect and he had no problems with this.
    Unless there’s a gas safe engineer with him this is quite clearly against gas regulations as no parts classed as safety devices can be swapped by a non gas safe person, both thermocouples and ignition generators are classed as safety devices.

    On the subject of parts being swapped while a gas safe engineer is present I can’t see how this is against the rules or how the hell would prospective engineers get jobs signed off ?

    That’s nothing compared to the top of the tree AGA-Rangemaster range cooker…

    The top “La Cornue” range is over £55k 😮

    Re: This morning’s entertainment……….

    A £200 “average” repair cost is simply nothing but a complete and utter lie, put a google search on and typing in cooker repair will bring up many fixed price repair companies all of which carry no such fee as £200, on top of that you can also find local engineers who are far cheaper, it’s a made up figure to make the savings look massive and make us look like rip off merchants.

    They didn’t have thermocouples on them then, probably a faulty sola grill, does it roar when the grill goes out ? If so there’s no chance of a new grill burner now, they were made obsolete years ago

    The over is around 2 years old. Do you know if replacement glass can be fitted, or if a new door is the only way to go?

    If so do you have any recommendations on where to source this from?

    Cheers.

    StevieThat price was for the outer door panel, not for the door….. That’s even more expensive !!!!

    They are all roughly the same money, some have one feature that the other one does’nt and vice versa, which one would the learned gentlemen on here recommend & why?

    Regards Strocky!Rangemaster R6 range (R604, R609, R6012) is an almost identical looking oven, I do warranty work for them covering quite a large area and havent had to repair 1 in the year plus that these ovens have been out, and like BSH have a two year warranty.

    Its all down to build quality and the quality of parts used, Rangemaster are easily better than their competitors, if you can afford one its an absolute no brainer.

    All our cooking appliances, hoods, refrigerators and dishwashers are covered by a full two-year manufacturers warranty upon registration within 30 days of delivery.

    If that’s the case then it makes a mockery of their website :rolls:

    DonIt is most definitely the case, its not really a mockery as they would prefer you to register, but you will get 2 years either way.

    One year dealer warranty, second year warranty direct with manufacturers as long as product is registered with Rangemaster within thirty days of delivery.

    DonThough you are correct in what you say Rangemaster dont enforce that, they will still give you the second year even if you didnt register.
