A new top for a RHT017 Oven - Russell Hobbs Kitchen Appliances - Others

sounds to me like bottom hinges are set to close to oven/ need spacers so oven door closes flat top and bottom at moment it seems that bottom is to tight before oven door is closed ,try fitting spacers behind hinge fixings at bottom, good luck

New oven? What about the supplier warranty? Bosch is a top make, get hold of a dealer.

I know of nothing unusual about this, the oven vents some through the top burner.

Hi ddorward35,

The manufacturers say that it is microwave safe. While I was checking this out for you, I ran across this article I thought you might want to read: http://www.ehow.com/about_5343595_dangers-silicone-bakeware.html

I hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks for visiting fixya.com,

I have a 720ef and the top oven is not that good. The wattage rating is low, from memory about 750 watts and it takes a month of Sundays to warm up. I bought an oven thermometer from Lakeland a little while ago and when the top oven is turned on the Lakeland thermometer is showing that the oven thermomostat is running the oven at 20 degrees below what it is set to. If the thermostat neon is clicking off and on, then the thermostat/oven is working, albeit not as we expect.

Purchased a new stove.

if its a brand new unit (still in waranty) make the service call

Top oven works bottom oven fan works but bottom oven does not work and cannot get rid of auto signal

I replaced the relay board for the top oven (the one with the transformer) and it works properly now. My issue was only for the top oven so you probably have to replace both relay boards since both ovens have only the top element working.

318022002 is the part number for the relay board with transformer
318022001 is the part number for the relay board without transformer

Yes the one without the transformer is more expensive for some reason.

The boards are on the top of the oven, I was able to pull out the oven about 75% of the way out of the cabinet and easily get to the boards. Just unplugged the connections and plugged them into the new board.

To get the oven out there are two small screws that go into brackets inside the top oven door. Highly recommend taking the doors off the oven to pull it out, much easier to work with.

NOTE: On my old board I noticed one solder joint that was burned out and I since I already had the new board I just replaced but you might want to check that first and see if just a solder fix gets you working again before you spend $$ on a new board.
