Repair guidance / Stoves / BR1
One cavity works and the other fails
For a double oven, keep the upper and lower cavity observations separate. Tell us whether the affected cavity has a working light, fan and display. This avoids turning one function fault into an inaccurate description of a completely dead cooker.
A different pattern: the oven is uneven on a familiar setting
Describe which shelf or side cooks differently and whether the change is new. Fan circulation, heating performance and ordinary cooking conditions can affect the result. An existing independent oven thermometer reading can be reported, but do not dismantle the appliance to investigate.
A fault noticed after other work
Describe what was moved or changed and when the symptom first appeared. Keep that sequence factual; timing alone does not establish who caused the fault or which component has failed. Mention any work around the supply, waste or cabinetry.
Identify this Stoves model
Include the full model, fuel type, serial number and which oven, hob zone or control has failed. Gas work and engineer qualification must be confirmed before acceptance.
Bromley and the full address
Send the full postcode and entry details with the Bromley address. If the equipment is in a flat, describe the route from the entrance to the room. Address and access are checked before a Monday–Thursday appointment is confirmed.
Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “one cavity works and the other fails”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “one cavity works and the other fails”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the oven is uneven on a familiar setting”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Bromley postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the oven is uneven on a familiar setting” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — a fault noticed after other work — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
