Can my oven be fixed?

I would look into a high temp silicone one that can take the 500+ degrees. But I would research the out-gassing issues with any adhesive that can occur when exposed to high temps that may be a food safety issue for you. This shows a kit in the UK for just your dilemma.

If you were considering getting a new one, I guess this is a sign to start looking! Older models will always tend to have difficulties and will require constant repair for the littlest thing. However, if you are really attached to it, I guess calling for a specialist to check it out would be your best chance.

@Cruiser That’s brilliant! I think I can bring that info to a hardware store here and get something like that. The full door kit looks like what I’ll need.

Try an appliance repair supplier in your area or online. Find the model and serial number and call around. You might have to get an “assembly” rather than just the glass. If you want the name of a supplier I use a lot and I think will ship, just send me a private message.

If you can afford a new one, preferably energy efficient, then go for it. However, the old one can certainly be repaired. There are several Do It Yourself techniques covered in other answers, but I would suggest a professional.

@alamo the glass never broke, it just dislodged from the door and slid into it. It wasn’t attached with screws or even a rubber gasket, it was simply glued. Good tip on checking the model number though, I was too excited yesterday to do that. I might need that supplier, @alamo, if I can’t find one here, thanks!

A bit about this stove. It’s come with the new house we just bought and are moving into this week! The cleaners who cleaned the place for the sellers did the damage, but we don’t want to make a big issue of it, because they didn’t need to leave the stove in the first place, but they left the stove and the dishwasher for us and all sorts of nice lamps and shelves, and even the patio furniture. Nice people, nice buying process here in Norway. You get to sit at a table with the owners as you all sign the purchase / sale agreement. Not something I had experienced before in buying a house in New Zealand.

There aren’t that many ‘repair’ places left here. There are piles and piles of cast off appliances here. The labour cost to fix things is too high here, generally speaking, but I’ll try a few places after Christmas, and concentrate on Glass places, because there are plenty of them.

We can afford a new one, but don’t want to rush into any purchases right now. The consumer agency has reported that two of the large appliance dealers put their prices up for Christmas. Price gauging, anyone? tsk tsk… won’t be going to those places now.

We are planning on buying a new stove, one with gas preferably.
