The Exterior Of The Oven Is Excessively Hot

If you happen to lean on your electric cooker while you’re baking and feel like you’ve almost been burned, the door’s seal gasket may be worn out our frayed. Not only is this a potential for serious harm to family members in the vicinity around your oven, it also means you are losing a lot of heat and energy. Your electricity bill will increase and it will be hard to maintain a good temperature to cook.

What You Can Do

• Inspect the door’s seal gasket and call us immediately if it looks worn.

Leave It For The Experts

• Changing an oven’s door seal gasket may not seem complicated, but unless it is secured exactly right, you will not have a proper seal for your oven. It may also mean the new seal gasket will need replacing again, sooner than expected.

The Oven Door Won't Close Properly

If you can’t close your oven door properly, your oven loses precious heat and your food won’t cook properly. All that escaping heat can also pose a risk to anyone passing by, especially small children.

What You Can Do

• Check the door seal gasket. If it looks worn, call us today and one of our engineers will replace it for you.
• Adjust the door springs. Many people like to remove the oven door when it needs cleaner and sometimes don’t put it back properly. Check the springs and make sure the door is properly aligned again.

Leave It For The Experts

• If the door seal gasket or springs look damaged, call our engineers to come and fix that for you.
• If your door looks completely misaligned, our engineers can find the problem and fix it for you.

Indicator lights on an electric cooker may not affect the performance of the cooker, but you run the risk of leaving burners or the oven on, long after you’ve finished cooking. These indicator light, or lights, will need to be replaced so you don’t leave your electric cooker on for hours or days. Think of the electricity bill.

What You Can Do

• Changing an indicator light bulb is as simple as changing any light bulb. If you can get to the bulb easily, go ahead and change it yourself.

Leave It For The Experts

• If your indicator light bulb is in a difficult to reach area, or you need to remove any of the panels of your electric cooker, leave it for the experts. An exposed panel reveals a lot of wiring and you may do your cooker some serious damage. Worse, you may injury yourself.
