Glass for Belling Cooker Door

david39

I hope someone can assist with a recommendation.

We have just broken the inner glass on the lower oven door on a Belling BI70F built in oven.

I've looked on various spares sites via Google and Jeeves and the replacement cost seems to be about £50 - ouch!!!! This is 10% of the cost of the cooker in the first place - even more ouching!!!

Does anyone know of a source for such an item on the Net or locally in the West Yorkshire area? Ebay does not seem to have anything but the suppliers offered by Google.

Thanks for any help.

I did a quick search and foudn the same as you £50 for the glass. Have you thought about checking e-bay (or similar) for a non functional oven as this may go cheap. Its a long shot I know but may be worth a try, otherwise £50 may be the best you can do. To be honest it costing 10% of the price of the thing actually sounds quite reasonable to me, but maybe I am just a bit nieve!

Thanks, Niv - you seem to be correct.
Paid a visit to my local repair shop that gets spares for most electrical items. He looked up the part on the internet at one of the websites that I had checked out and quoted the same price but said it was subject to an extra 20% VAT - which was not the case with the website.
Went home and ordered it direct. Felt a little ripped off that a piece of glass (admittedly safety and specialised) could cost 10% of price of entire oven - there are 3 other pieces of glass in the doors so that means if they all got broken, I'd be paying nearly 40% of the oven's retail value just for the glass.

Never mind, at least the dog won't burn his nose when he's watching a chicken cooking.
