Belling Oven is Getting Too Hot

If you believe your Belling oven is not working because it is getting too hot, there may be an issue with your electric/gas thermostat. This is the part which ensures the oven reaches the temperature you have set and not above.

Belling Thermostats and Regulators Belling Gas Thermostats

The Fix

Electric thermostats can be a tricky part of the oven to replace, so we've created a handy guide on how you can do just this. However, due to the dangerous nature of gas parts, we suggest you get a qualified gas-safe registered engineer to carry out this repair.

Belling Oven Hob is Not Working

As you will know, the hob is an essential part of any gas or electric cooker. If you find these aren't heating up at all, it may be time to take a look at the hotplate element or the gas ignition electrode.

Belling Oven Hob

The Fix

If you've got an electric Belling cooker, you will most likely be in need of a solid, ceramic or induction hotplate element to get your oven hob to heat up again. Though this may seem a little tricky, you can use our useful guide on how to replace a ceramic hob element!

On the other hand, if you have a gas Belling cooker and the flame is not lighting on your hob, this may be due to the ignition electrode being broken. These are the parts of the oven which provide the spark to ignite the gas flame.

Uneven or Overcooked Food

Oven Fan Not Working? Here's Our Advice

Your oven fan is an essential part for maintaining the function of your appliance, so when this becomes faulty, you're sure to notice a problem straight away. The telltale sign that your oven fan is not working is unevenly cooked food. Because your oven fan is responsible for distributing the heat evenly inside your oven cavity, to ensure your meals are cooked accurately. So what could be preventing your oven's fan from working?

Why is the Oven Fan Not Working?

Faulty oven fan performance is usually due to one of two parts that your fan relies upon in order to function correctly:

The Oven Fan Motor

If your oven fan is not working, it is likely that your oven's fan or fan motor has become faulty. These parts are the main components of your oven fan, and they help to ensure your food is cooked evenly. Some signs that these parts have failed include excess noise coming from the fan, along with the element successfully heating, but proving ineffective in circulating this heat around your oven.

The Oven Fan Element

Another common cause for your oven fan not working is oven fan element failure. You may pick up on the faulty element if your oven appears to be working fine, but fails to generate heat. You may also notice some visual signs that your oven fan element has failed, such as burning or bulging. For instructions on how to replace your faulty fan oven element, click here.

How to Replace an Oven Door Catch

Disconnect your appliance. It's important that you ensure your cooker is turned off from the mains to eliminate any risk to your safety whilst you perform your repair work.
Remove the side panel of your cooker. You can do this by removing the two screws at the front and the back of your cooker.

Test your new catch by closing your door. On some cooker models, you can adjust the striker pin to allow your door to close securely. You can do this by just screwing the pin out with a pair of pliers.
Once you're happy, screw the side panel back in place.
