Cooker glass insert in cooker done has come away, can it be resealed by diy? tricity bendix cooker si 453 model. 7 years old. thanks.

Get a gas fitter This is not something to be done by an unqualified person The potential for damage if done wrong isnt worth the couple of hundred bucks a gas fitter would charge

These will give you the basics
1 How to change a fan oven element and How to change a cooker oven fan Motor

2 How to fit a New Thermostat to a Cooker or Oven


If you have a electric Cooker or Fan Oven which is not heating it could be one of the following problems.

3. If you have the opposite problem i.e. your oven is over heating and burning everything then you will need to replace your oven thermostat

You need to replace the regulators that control the heat settings.

I have had a similar problem in that the top oven was overheating getting hotter and hotter and have just got a replacement thermostat from Partmaster.co.uk. This is to fit a Tricity Bendix from Currys model number DSIE520 GR. The new one seems just like yours in that it has three lettered connectors A,B and C. With the part came a sheet stating that for a free standing appliance with NO timer (this what my cooker is) the connections to be made are : 2 on old part to A on new; F on old to B on new; G/H on old to C on new and the link from G/H and 6 on old to be removed or "severed". I haven't yet done this as its in my cottage which I'm going to this weekend. Good luck! James

The symptoms you describe are a classic example of an oven element heating up, and as it gets hotter, the insulation is breaking down, thereby causing the earth leakage trip to operate.
To confirm this , switch on the oven, and turn all 4 rings on the top to full heat, 2 at a time, let them stay on for at least 10-15 mins, and if it does not trip, then you can be pretty sure it is the oven element(s) that is the problem

It is not likely to be the wall switch, as if it were faulty, i would expect the trip to go right away.
If you want to check further, then turn on the oven again and see if it trips, if it does ,then it is definately the oven element(s) that is the problem.

If it is a fan assisted oven , the element is at the rear of the oven, and possibly one under the base ot the oven. If it is a conventional convection oven, then there is an element at each side of the oven, even if one is faulty, replace both.

Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

H iyou can get the electrics cheched that will rule that out but it sounds like a short on the oven it could well be the element in the oven which you should be able to replace as its only 3 years old

Element needs replacing

if this a uk model and less than 15 years old you can ring tricity,they should be able to supply you with a manual
