my oven door just smashed

[southeastastra]

the hinge was broken but still argh

Oh no- will you be able to replace only the door? or will you need to buy a new oven?

was it the food trying to escape?

the food was slightly over cooked! i can't find a door so looks like i have to replace the whole thing argh!

does your house insurance cover it?

i don't know. just peed off - new ones are dear and the installation alone is £69!

I got told I would need to pay over 60 quid for installation, I said no thanks just send me the glass, and I fitted it myself. Later I dropped a frying pan on the door and the inner glass fell through, so I had to take the outer glass off again to be able to refit the inner glass, but then the FSD failed before I got the outer door back on. I ended up scrapping the cooker, and getting another one off ebay for the princely sum of £37.01, less than I paid for the glass!!!!

i found one identical oven on ebay for bargain price, but it's right up north

i would check your insurance to see if it covers it

southeast, this happened to us. Are you sure you can't get a part for it. We bought just a door off some spares website for about£30 and fitted it ourselves.
Worth investigating before shelling out for a new one!!

is it a built in oven? the insurance might well cover it if it is - counts as fixtures and fittings.

also have you phoned the manufacturer to see if parts are available?

oh by the way that would be your buildings insurance that would cover it not your contents.

when my hob smashed in my last house the buildings insurance covered it!
