Oven Not Getting As Hot As It Used To (1 Viewer)

[Gollom]

Oven used to be pretty fierce for it's size, but flames probably 30% lower than they used to be. Top burners are still OK with pretty good blue flames. Any thoughts on the oven? Attack jets with fuse wire?

Don't clean with fuse or any other wire.. they are easily damaged..

Clean with proper jet cleaning wires.. on ebay for a few quid..

I bought these to clean the jets on my cooker..

At a push, you can clean them with a single bristle from a 1" paint brush.

Check where the thermostat sensor is. Is it possible you've knocked/moved it?

I recently had to replace the light bulb in the oven at home and had to move the temperature sensor to get at it. Then found that the oven now operates at the selected temperature, which it never did before. Seems the sensor was bent out of place.

Incidentally I'm not talking about the flame-out sensor, which sits actually in the pilot flame.
