Oven stopped working

Hi all.

Here's hoping someone can help me. Earlier this year (on the 21% off everything day), I bought an oven from Ikea. A couple of months ago, it just stopped working. We're having lots of building work done, so lots of things packed away in boxes, and now it turns out the receipt is not where I thought it was.

I know in theory it's still under warranty, but without a receipt I'm not sure if I have recourse to that. I wondered if it might be something as simple as the wrong ampage fuse in the plug, but cannot see any reference to fuses in the paperwork that came with it. Can anyone tell me if there is a standard amp fuse for ovens? Other than that, I don't know what else I can try.

Thanks.
some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    If you can prove you bought it from then via a credit card statement then that should be sufficient to get them to replace it.
  • Thanks latecomer. I did pay by Visa debit card (tried with credit card but they don't take AmEx). I'll give it a shot.

    Just a long shot, are you sure your oven is on manual and not on automatic.
