New World is a proudly British appliance company, and their cookers are made to the highest of standards (as are their refrigerators, dishwashers, et cetera). Still, if it was possible to make a completely infallible cooker, we wouldn’t be here, and even New World appliances – with their outstanding quality and stiff upper lip – can break down on occasion.

If your New World cooker isn’t working properly, our sprawling collection of New World spares almost certainly contains the part that you’re missing. We sell spare parts for all types of New World cookers, including freestanding ovens like the New World ES50S and built-in appliances like the NW90G. Even the largest of New World cookers, such as the 55HLG, can be repaired with the help of Cooker Spare Parts.

If you can’t find the part you’re looking for, or if we don’t seem to have your New World model on our list, give us a call on 02920 451 222 and we’ll do our best to find a part that will do the job.

Three great meals that don't need cooking!

So your cooker has broken down, but it's fine, because you're totally on top of it. You've located the source of the problem, Googled it, and ordered a replacement part from the Cooker Spare Parts team. No sweat!

Except...what are you going to do for dinner tonight? Even if you selected 'Next Day Delivery' and completed the order before 3.30pm, your cooker will still be out of action until tomorrow. You don't want to ruin your diet with a takeaway, and you haven't got the money for a meal out, so what to do?

Well, we can help on that score as well. Here are a few alternative meal ideas for those broken cooker evenings.

(N.B. For the sake of this blog post, we're assuming that your cooker is completely busted; that is, you can't use the oven, the hobs, or the grill.)

• Salad
  If salad has only ever been a side dish for you, it's high time you upgraded it to the rank of Main Course. Start with the basics: cucumber, lettuce (or rocket if you're feeling fancy) and celery. Once you've laid the foundations, you can get creative, throwing in more or less anything you fancy. Peppers, croutons, walnuts, sesame seeds, chicken pieces, pine nuts...it's all fair game!
  
  
• Chicken Wraps
  You may not be able to cook anything yourself, but you can buy pre-cooked chicken from most supermarkets. If you're reasonably easy to satisfy, just put some chicken, lettuce and mayonnaise in a tortilla wrap and tuck in! If, however, you want to add a little more flavour, you can add cashew nuts, chopped spring onions, and even grated coconut to the mix.
  
  
• Boxing Day Buffet
  If you've got leftovers - chicken, cold cuts, salad, that sort of thing - then you've got yourself a meal, no cooker required. Just pretend it's the day after Christmas, spread all your leftovers out on the dining table, and make a buffet out of it. And if you don't have any leftovers...go out and buy some! Grab a French stick while you're there, too; nothing ties a spread together like a nice, crusty baguette.

Broken ovens can be a bit of a nightmare. Partially because you have to survive on takeaways and microwaveables for a little while, but mainly because, sooner or later, you'll have to bite the bullet and get the darn thing fixed.

But don't call the professionals in yet. Repairing your oven may be easier than you think - to help, here are a few commonly-asked questions that the Cooker Spare Parts team have attempted to answer.

Q: What’s wrong with my cooker?

A: That’s a very broad question, but there are a few diagnostic tricks you can use to narrow down the possibilities. Firstly, switch your oven on – if there’s no sign of life whatsoever, it’s likely to be an electrical issue, and you might need a new terminal block. If the lights are on but nobody’s home – that is, if your oven turns on but fails to heat up – you may have a broken element.

Bear in mind that oven elements can break without being faulty in themselves. If you have a malfunctioning thermostat, or if something else is awry in your oven, these problems can cause perfectly serviceable elements to kick the bucket. Don’t assume that you can simply replace a broken element and get back to business as usual – there could be another issue at work.

Q: How do I find the right part for my appliance?

A: We appreciate that there are lots of different cooker parts that look more or less interchangeable. Instead of making you inspect every single product on our site, we’ve done our best to make finding the right part as easy and as streamlined as possible. 

For example, if you’re looking for a new oven timer on the Cooker Spare Parts website, you can select your manufacturer from the list on the left-hand side. For extra reassurance, we recommend entering your model number while you search as well.

Q: I can’t find my model number! Where is it?

A: Our dedicated Help Centre page contains all the information you’ll need to find your cooker’s model number. Knowing your number will make the spare-buying process a whole lot simpler, so it’s definitely a good idea to track it down before you proceed.

Q: Is there anything I should know before I attempt to repair my oven?

A: First of all, you must always unplug your oven at the wall before you begin any work on it. From there on out, it kind of depends on what you’re repairing – thanks to this wonderful thing we call the internet, specific advice is just a Google search away.

Finally, we should make it clear that it’s not a good idea to attempt oven repair work if you’re not sure what you’re doing. If you’ve taken a good hard look at the problem, read all of the articles online, and you’re still a bit fuzzy on how to fix it, then it’s always better to leave it to a professional. After all, you don’t want to make it any worse!

We’ve got a lot of spare oven shelves in stock here at Cooker Spare Parts, and the people who order them generally do so because they’ve broken or misplaced their existing shelf.  But even if your oven still has all the shelves it came with, there are several good reasons to invest in a new one anyway. Reasons like...

• More cooking space
  Adding an extra shelf to your oven will give you more room to cook without actually making the oven any larger. When you’re catering for a large group of people, it’s nice to have the option of cooking two or three dishes at the same time.
  
  
• Less energy use
  Most modern cookers come with two ovens – a main oven and a top oven – and when you do have a lot of food to cook, you probably use both of them to get everything done in time. But adding an extra shelf to your main oven may allow you to cook everything in the same place, which would mean that you could leave the top oven off and save a fair bit of energy in doing so.
  
  
• Easier cleaning
  So you’ve already got all the shelves you need – why would you bother buying another one? Two words: stainless steel. Quite a few of our spare oven shelves are made from stainless steel, which is much easier to clean than wire and other metals. If cleaning your oven has always been a nightmare, you may find that stainless steel shelves make the job that much easier.

To find an appropriate oven shelf for your appliance, pop over to this page and select your manufacturer from the ‘Narrow by Manufacturers’ menu on the left-hand side. For even more accurate results, you can also specify your model number.

There are few things more infuriating than unevenly cooked food. Whether it’s meat that’s half raw and half well-done or pizzas that have to be rotated to ensure that every slice is right, getting an even cook can sometimes be tricky.

Fan-assisted appliances use fans to distribute heat evenly around the oven space; in theory, every part of your meal should be equally cooked, but it doesn’t always work out like that.

Let's be honest, there are some of us who can't cook food evenly because we're not the most capable in the kitchen. There are many factors that contribute to evenly cooked food, ensuring you're utilising the correct rack position could be a good place to start before we start dismantling things. That being said, if you know that the unevenly cooked food is not a product of your kitchen incompetence then it's probable that there's a problem with the components of your oven, more often than not, the fan. 

A full-functioning fan should cook everything, not just the stuff nearest the back of the oven. If you’ve invested in a top-of-the-line fan oven and your dinner is still coming out inedible, replacing the fan motor may be enough to fix your unevenly cooked food for good. A new motor will bring your broken oven back to life, so it's worth giving this a try before replacing your oven completely. Take a look at our guide to see exactly how to replace your oven fan. 

Here at Cooker Spare Parts, we have all kinds of oven fan parts available for a vast range of appliances. Use our search filters to specify your manufacturer and model number. We’ll only show you the fans and motors that are compatible with your cooker.

For help resolving your unevenly cooked food problems, take a look at our cooker spares or alternatively, give us a call. We can help you identify and resolve your oven problem quickly, so you can enjoy evenly cooked food once again!
