The power cut that wasn't

Not your week, John. It is said these things come in threes ...

Yes, in addition to the washing machine and possibly water softener, I changed the oven element a little while ago too.

Completely trivial on mine. Just unscrew a couple of nuts on the retaining plate thru the open oven door and it unplugs out thru the open oven door. Since it?s a wall oven, you don?t you can do it all just standing in front of it, don?t even need to bend over.

You oven is a complete amateur. A *proper* professional oven waits for Christmas eve... ;-)

This is why I still have the old Baby Belling stored in the garage.

Fairly simple on mine by the looks of it... the main difficulty is now SWMBO has her thoughts drifting toward a double oven ;-)

(I can see the attraction of one with a self cleaning lining, and fan that does not squeak myself)

Yeah, can be a problem in that situation.

Yeah, went for one of those myself, bugger of a job otherwise.

Yeah, that sort of thing is a pain, surprisingly irritating, particularly when it varies and you keep wondering how long it will be before it dies too, just after you have paid for the new element.

That's not funny! Staying with friends for Christmas. The fan oven refused to come on just as preliminary cooking was about to start for the following day's Big Meal. I got it out of its recess (having checked all the obvious things), removed the back, tested and couldn't see anything obvious. Then, following a wire that went right to the front, saw the back of a switch. Exploring the front of the oven, there was a door-operated switch so buried in crud that it wasn't visible. Cleaned it and life was restored. Now thjat's sod's law - get the oven out and in pieces only to find that a minute's work from the front...!

Yes assuming all those grease ridden rusty self tapping screws and fittings that appear to be welded in place. Brian

Short of killing her then there is nothing you can do.

Well I could just repair the existing one... then the excuse goes away before she decides what she wants to replace it with ;-)

(Unlike many women, my wife seems to be almost incapable of spending money - so selecting a new oven would take ages. Its a rare but desirable trait IMHO ;-)

slippery sod, must have had a gap in my filter!

(although that post was out of character - it was inane and pointless as usual, but not obviously wrong. You think he is slipping?)
