If you own a fan oven, you will appreciate how important the oven fan motor is when it comes to keeping your oven cavity well ventilated.

You may not be able to see the inner workings of your fan oven, but the oven motor that circulates the warm air is more important than you think! So if you have a noisy fan oven and are wondering what is wrong with it, the chances are that you will need to replace the oven motor.

If the fan in your oven isn't working properly, there is a danger of your appliance overheating. This is not only bad for the oven, but it may also cause damage to other important parts of your cooker, such as the fan oven element. If the oven motor isn't distributing the warm air around the cavity, the fan oven element could burn out, which will have a major impact on how you cook your food.

So if you have been experiencing problems with the oven fan that is currently attached to your cooker, visit the motors and fans section of our website to see the full range of fan oven motors that we stock!

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.

A flame supervision device (also known as a flame failure device) is essential for any gas cooker. It helps to prevent wastage and, crucially, averts a lot of the hazards that flammable gas can cause.

Gas ovens, gas grills and gas hobs operate by burning a steady supply of gas - this produces the heat that cooks your food. But sometimes, the flame that burns the gas is unexpectedly extinguished (perhaps due to a draught, some spilt liquid, or a momentary interruption of the gas supply). What happens then?

Well, if you have a working flame supervision device or thermocouple, the gas supply will be shut off until you re-ignite the oven. However, if you FSD isn't functioning properly, the gas valve may remain open, in which case the flammable gas will continue to seep into your oven or, worse, your kitchen.

It isn't hard to see why this is an issue. If you want to avoid a dangerous build-up of flammable gas in your kitchen, you must ensure that your gas cooker is fitted with a working flame supervision device (a minimum safety requirement for most gas-burning appliances). If your cooker needs a new FSD, you can purchase one from Cooker Spare Parts - visit our Flame Failure/Thermocouples page below.
