    Red face My range is b0rk3d

    Right -I have a rangemaster classic 90 - and today i wanted pizza for lunch, so in normal way turn on main oven put pizza in and leave it.

    Anyway - go back an HOUR Later cos I had forgotten and the thing isn't burnt, it is still frozen - my heating element has packed up.

    Phone rangemaster (5 phone calls later) Engineer coming Monday - 60+VAT for him and 35+ VAT for a new part.

    This is a COMMON fault - how unbelievable is that it is just over a year old.

    So miffed - why should I pay 100 quid to fix a 1k cooker which dies under a comon fault

    Not only that but I doubt that Trading Standards would consider that to be a reasonable life for a 1K cooker under the Sale of Goods Act.
