Whether you need to replace faulty components such as the inner glass and door seal, or you simply want to give your appliance a more thorough clean, it can be incredibly useful to know how to remove your oven door. Luckily, this is usually a very simple and straightforward process for most ovens, so you won't have to worry about remembering any complicated steps or investing in special equipment.  So to find out how to remove and replace your oven door, keep reading:

How to Remove Your Oven Door:

  1. Make sure that your oven is switched off, disconnecting any power supplies. 
  2. Lower the oven door and inspect the hinge, this will let you know how to lock the hinges in place for removal.
  3. Lock the hinges in place either by: Turing the screw with a half turn (two-part hinge system), folding the catch over (one part hinge system), fitting a pin into the hole (pin type hinge) or by folding the latch back into the glass (latch over type).
  4. Once you have locked the clips, place your hands on either side of the oven door, lifting it to a 45-degree angle.
  5. Grip the sides of the door firmly, then gently lift the door upwards and out of the hinges. 

Replacing Your Oven Door:

Once you've successfully removed your oven door and completed your desired application, it should be fairly simple to replace your oven door by following the same steps in reverse:

  1. First, hold the door at the same angle with your hands at either side, before lowering the hinges into the slots. 
  2. Once the hinges are in place, carefully lower the oven door to horizontal level, so that it's in the same position as when you began removing it.
  3. Replacing the locking mechanism either by clipping it into place and/or replacing the screws.
  4. Examine the oven door before closing it, to ensure that it has been successfully reattached.
Remember, if you need to remove your oven door in order to replace it and/or any of its elements, be sure to check out our selection of oven spares to find quality replacements at a great price!


Here's a few extra things you may find when removing your oven door:

  • A Phillips-Head Screwdriver - This will come in handy if you need to pry the hinges out of their sockets, or if your hinges are screwed into place.
  • Hinge Lubricant - This will help to ease the hinge movement if it has become jammed or is very stiff.
  • A Pin or Allen Key - Some oven door hinges come with a hole that allows you to lock the hinges into place for removal.

Oven Not Turning On? Here's What We can Do to Help!

cooker parts, oven repair
If there is power in your cooker but your oven isn't turning on then you've got a problem! If your oven isn't turning on then you stand no chance of cooking your meals! If your gas or electric oven isn't turning on, Cooker Spare Parts is here to help! We'll go through all the possible reasons as to why your oven won't be turning on and the replacement part you need to purchase to resolve it. 

If your Gas Oven isn't turning on


Is your spark electrode faulty?

Your electrode is responsible for igniting the gas in your burner tube. If there are any cracks to the casing or damage to the tip of the electrode will indicate that the part has become faulty and will fail to ignite your gas burner. If your spark electrode has become faulty, there's no need to panic! We have a brilliant selection of replacement spark electrodes and plugs for you to choose from, and will have your oven working as good as new. Click here to view this range.

Is Your Gas Thermostat Malfunctioning?

Some cooker will have a gas thermostat fitted. Its job is to shut off the voltage to the igniter once the set temperature is reached. A faulty thermostat may not allow any voltage to reach the igniter, stopping your oven from heating. If your gas thermostat is faulty, you'll be happy to know we have an excellent selection of replacement. Click here, to view this range. 

Faulty Oven Control Board?

Your circuit board is extremely important. It controls all the electrical equipment inside your oven. If it is faulty, you may find that your element or thermostat will stop working. It can be hard to test the board itself for faults; but you can inspect it to see if any of the components have burnt or shorted out. If you're in need of a new Oven Control Board, you can view our selection of replacements by clicking here.

If your Electric Oven isn't turning on


Has Your Thermal Fuse Blown?

Some electric ovens are fitted with a thermal fuse. If your oven gets too hot your fuse will blow, shutting off the power to your oven. If your fuse is faulty, it needs to be replaced. Luckily, we have a brilliant choice of replacement thermal fuses for you to choose from. To view our selection of fuses, please click here.

Has Your Thermostat Become Faulty?

Similar to a gas oven, your electric cooker is fitted with a thermostat. When the set heating temperature is met, the thermostat will cut off the voltage to your heating element. This cycle is repeated throughout the cooking process to ensure your oven's cooking temperature is maintained. If your thermostat is faulty, your electric oven may not turn on. But there's no need to panic, as we have huge selection of replacement oven thermostats for you to choose from. View our range here.

Is Your Control Board No Longer Working?

Just like a gas cooker, your electric oven will also feature an oven control board, and it has similar role to play - controlling all the electric components in your oven. If your control board is faulty, you may find that some of your electrical components will stop working, and therefore you should look to replace it as soon as possible! View our range of cooker control boards by clicking here.

Replace your oven element with Cooker Spare Parts
 
Your fan oven element is arguably the most crucial part of your cooker. It has a very important job, and that is to produce the heat that actually cooks your food. What good is an oven without heat?!
 
If your oven isn't heating up, the problem is usually that the element has blown or otherwise become faulty. (Seeing bright spots and/or patches on your element when it is in use is a pretty good sign that something has gone wrong.) As you can't really repair it, chances are you'll have to replace your fan oven element. If your element has stopped working, there's no need to stress - we have a HUGE array of Fan Oven Elements in stock here at Cooker Spare Parts, and we're confident that we can get your oven firing on all cylinders once again.

Once you've purchased yourself a replacement fan oven element, the next thing to do is install it! Of course, not everyone is a cooker expert, and we understand that you may need a little help. That's why we have created this simple-to-follow guide that will help you to replace your fan oven element with ease.
 
 

How To Replace Your Fan Oven Element:

  1. Before you start any work, please make sure that your oven is turned off on the wall. We don't want you to electrocute yourself.

  2. Once your oven is safe to work on, you can remove your oven door and shelves - this will make it easier for you to access the fan oven element itself. To remove your oven door, simply move the latch to the open position on your hinge. Next, close your door and lift it out - but please be careful when lifting out your oven door, as the last thing you want to do is drop it and shatter the glass.

  3. Now that there's nothing getting in your way, you can remove the front panel that is protecting the oven fan and element. This is usually held in place by four screws. Remove the screws and panel - but be careful not to lose any of the screws!

  4. Right, now that the front panel has been removed, you can remove your faulty fan oven element. This will be held together by three screws; remove these screws and take the element out. You'll notice that there are some wires attached to your element - we'll tell you what you have to do with them next.

    IMPORTANT NOTICE: Before following the next step, please take note of the order these wires. We recommend taking photos of them before you pull them out.

  5. The wires will be attached to your element via spade connectors. All you need to do is pull them out, but be careful - you don't want to damage the wires.

  6. Now that you've disconnected your element, it's time to connect up your new one! Using the photo you took on your phone as a reference, re-attach the wires; then screw the element and front panel back in place; finally, place the shelves back inside your oven and re-attach the door. 
Congratulations, you've just replaced your oven element! Make sure to brag to all your friends about how handy you are.

How To Replace Your Oven Thermostat

How to Replace Your Oven Thermostat

Your oven thermostat is very important; it is responsible for ensuring that your oven heats up to the set temperature and that it remains regulated at all times. That's why it's important to know how to replace your oven thermostat if you find it is no longer working.

If your cooker is overheating or isn't heating up sufficiently there could possibly be a problem with your thermostat. This is when you should look to purchase a replacement.

Here are the signs to look out for to confirm you need to replace your oven thermostat:

  • Temperature inside oven cavity seems to be far too hot
  • The temperature inside the oven does not reach the level you've set it to
  • There's no click when you turn the control knob 

Luckily we stock a wide range of replacement oven thermostats here at Cooker Spare Parts. To browse our selection please click here. 

Now that you've purchased your oven thermostat, the next step is replacing it - but if you're not a cooker expert, this can be difficult. This is where Cooker Spare Parts comes in to help! Below, is an easy to follow step-by-step guide that will instruct you through the process of how to replace your oven thermostat.
 

Step-by-Step How to Replace Your Oven Thermostat

  1. Safety first! Please ensure that your cooker is switched off at the mains before you begin to replace your oven thermostat. 
  2. Next, locate the thermostat that is currently fitted to your cooker. The control of your oven thermostat is situated behind your control knob, and the capillary tube is situated at the top of your oven cavity.

  3. To get to the back of your cooker if you have a built-in oven, you'll need to remove it from its cavity. To do this, remove the fitting screws - located on the rim of your oven - and unplug the cables. Then you can lift it out of the cavity.

  4. The next step in how to replace your oven thermostat is to remove the oven door. To do this, move the latch on your hinge to the open position; close the door up, and then lift it out.

  5. Unclip the capillary tube. Now that you can access the inside of your oven, you can now remove the thermostat's capillary tube which is situated at the top, and back of your oven. To remove it, simply un-clip it, move it around and let it hang in your oven.

  6. Next, remove your back and top oven panels. These may be held together by Torx screws, so it may require you to have a Torx set.

  7. Remove the capillary tube. Now that you have access to the back of your oven, you'll be able to see the wire feeding from the top and around your oven, and into the oven cavity. Pull the capillary tube out of the oven cavity.

  8. Now, you need to remove the fixing bracket that is keeping the wire of the thermostat in place. This again requires Torx screws. 

  9.  It's now time to remove the control of your thermostat. Before removing anything, we strongly recommend you take note of how the wires fitted; so when you come to rewire your new thermostat, you can do it in the same way. 

  10. Take a photo of how it is wired. Once you have taken note of how it's wired, you can remove the clips and the control knob.

  11. Remove the screws that are holding the thermostat control in place. Then you can simply remove the thermostat from the control panel.

  12. Finally, to replace your oven thermostat, just do the opposite of what you have just done - fix it to your control panel; rewire it; feed the wire through and fit the capillary tube back into the oven cavity, and fix everything back together. 
If you have any questions regarding how to replace your oven thermostat, please do not hesitate to contact us by calling 02920 452 510, or email enquiries@cookerspareparts.com - one of the cooker experts that make up our customer service team will be more than happy to assist you!

Why is my Oven Overheating: What You Can Do To Resolve This

oven repair
Is your oven constantly overheating? Before considering replacing your whole appliance, there are a few things that could be causing your oven to get too hot. Typical causes are a faulty thermostat, cooling fan, or oven element - if any of these are not fully functioning it may be the cause of your oven's overheating problem. 
 
This is a problem, as not only will your meals be overcooked, but there is also a risk of cooker's components becoming damaged, and causing them to become faulty.  Read on to learn more about how to resolve your overheating problem!
 

What could be causing my oven to overheat?

If your oven is overheating it is most likely to be caused by a faulty part. More often then not it'll be your thermostat, cooling fan or oven element that is causing the problem. Read our guide to figure out which one is causing you a problem and how to get a replacement part. 

Oven Thermostat

If your oven's temperature is higher than what you set it to, then it's likely that your thermostat has become faulty and requires replacing. Your oven's thermostat role is to measure your oven's temperature and once it has reached the temperature you've set it to it'll inform your cooker to stop heating up and to just remain at that temperature. If your oven thermostat is faulty, it won't be reading the temperature of your oven accurately, causing it to over or under heat -  but there's no need to panic, we have a superb selection of oven thermostats that will stop your oven from overheating and will ensure it is back to cooking at its best once again. To view our range of Oven Thermostats, please click here. 
 

Oven Cooling Fan 

Your cooling fan is another oven part that prevents your cooker from getting too hot. Here at Cooker Spare Parts, we have a comprehensive range of oven cooling fans for you to choose from - whichever cooker model you own, we're confident you'll be able to find a replacement for your cooling fan. To view our range of cooling fan's, please click here.
 

Oven Element

The final part that could be causing your oven to overheat is the your oven element. Your element is the part that is directly responsible for producing the heat that allows you to cook your meals. If your oven element is faulty, it may be producing more heat than is needed. If your element is showing signs of any faults, it's paramount that you replace it as soon as possible, as it is vitally important that it is working efficiently. We have a gigantic selection of oven elements - to view range of oven elements, please click here.
