Received following complaint from tenant:
Any suggestion? Also, can you recommend any Atlas oven repair company in Auckland?
The timer mechanism has a mind of it's own, or maybe we don't understand it. But I hadn't touched it since I moved in and yet the oven was on - the fan wasn't on, which is why I hand't noticed, but it was definitely on, albeit at a very low temperature.
This is partly I think because the thermostatic controller for the oven doesn't appear to be able to easily reach a fully "off" position.
By a process of experimentation we think we have got to a point where we at least know it is on or off at any given time, but can't really be sure when it is likely to turn itself on again!
A lot of it I think will be understanding how the timer is supposed to work, but the temperature dial may need looking at in any event. The timer dials have lost their knobs which also makes it quite difficult to change them.
My wife is also concerned at the noise it makes when first switched on - it does seem noisy, although whether it is noisier than should be expected given the age of the oven I don't know.
