6 week old oven - top oven temp light indicated oven up to temperature 200 - but food nit cooking in expected time , tried again with riast potatoes , same thing . So buy oven thermometer - set top oven to 200 with thermometer in , temperature light goes out check temperature it says 155 ! Not 200
put thermometer in bottom fan oven set to 200 temp indicator light goes off check tbermoneter its at just over 200 so thats correct.
arrange bosch engineer .
he arrives heres how it goes
engineer - so you have probkem with the temperature if your top oven - do you know how it works .
me - yes i heated it up the temp light went off tbe foid not cooked in way linger time than normal had to rake it out & put in air fryer .
engineer- do you know you heed to heat it up its not a fan oven !
me- i know uts not a fan oven we move iften have used lots if different ovens , i like to use top smaller ovens as just 2 of us .
engineer ahhh your just not used to this oven !
me- ive had ranges , neff double oven , sneg all different .
engineer - ha ha yes they are all different .
me- i dont like tbat you seem to be victim blaming me . I cook a lot , i know how ovens work & this one is not up to temperature - ( he hasn't even looked at oven at this point )
what part if the oven being set to 200 and the oven thermometer i bought to check it says uts much lower.
engineer — you do know the top oven isnt fan !
me Yes i also know its not the temperature it says it is .
engineer we can't go by that i have to do certain timed checks etc with my equipment .
( the iven has been used twice once when ut didnt manage to cook chicken breast & once it didn't manage to roast par boiled potatoes .
engineer finally opens oven moves shelf rack down - & asks for my kitchen sponge and proceeds to wipe top of oven and acts like its a dirty oven and needs cleaning lol - there was nothing on the sponge when he handed it back .
i left him to it- surprise surprise - he sats there is nothing wrong with it ! I cant go by the oven thermometer i have bought !!
thats that
i checked it after he gone thermoneter record's correct temperature in bottom oven
put it in top oven turn it to 200 oven temp light goes off - check temperature its just 155 !!
what can i do uts 6 weeks old and temperature indicator does not align with actual temperature .

Send a photo of the oven showing the setting at 200 and supposedly at temp, and the oven thermometer showing 155.

Make a Complaint about the attitude of the engineer.

when the next engineer comes make him demonstrate the oven is ok before he leaves.

Did you actually use the phrase “victim blaming” in your conversation with him? Because that’s not applicable here. I’d have wanted to get out your house too so I could avoid any more very weird accusations.

Anyway, if the oven is faulty just call the company back and tell them you want a refund? If they won’t listen then use the resolver website. Resolver are brilliant at sorting issues like this on your behalf.

Did you not actually switch it on and demonstrate the issue to him?
