There...that should stop anyone attempting DIY 

Yes you should have just taken it to the tip and bought a new one! 

I think they're about £600, those cookers...worth repairing.

£600? 

Probably not an economic repair then if you had to get someone in? 

Which is why they make them awkward to do simple repairs!

Yep was about that iirc......

The main oven controls are stupidly complicated tho, imo

You can just select to use as a fan oven (which its only used in)
Or no fan and heat from the top only or bottom only or sides only....no idea why you would want to use those settings unless its something to do with baking cakes and the like

Got a new switch today....

Went to an electrical shop....that's been there for ever! Even when I was a nipper it was there....its one of those time warp places!

Told him the part number, which he said meant nothing to him! So he looked up the model number of the cooker on what must have been the most modernist thing in the shop....a laptop  He identified the switch I needed and said I must have one of those.....so disappeared out the back of the shop and returned with a box of switches......sorting through it he found one.....result  And just as cheap as the ones online and genuine Belling as well.....

Don't you just love those type of shops.....totally disorganised, dust everywhere but still make a profit
