Problem is it's very hot on the outside, as in too hot to touch for any length of time, including the knobs. So clearly not very efficient and potentially dangerous.

Question is, what is likely to be causing this? Bad design or something broken?]]>

Maybe best to find a 'that oven' forum and ask if it's normal.

We have a 'rangemaster' where the doors and glass get stupidly hot.]]>

I had an American side by side fridge freezer and was that close to melting it down for scrap. The manufacturers were no help, all they wanted was to send out a technician (£100) plus parts. A forum search found a guy who helped identify the defective part and repaired it for £40.]]>

One thing I've noticed is that the fan which circulates air between the outside of the oven & the underside of the hob comes on at strange times. When the oven is running & up to temperature there is an imperceptible air flow from the slots above the oven door (& presumably between the panes of glass in the over door). A few minutes after the oven has been switched off the fan suddenly turns on for 3-4 minutes pumping out huge quantities of hot air. If cooking something in the oven which generates lots of moisture then steam emits from the rear of the cooker where there is no real ventilation gap; again implying the fan which should move air from back to front isn't working when it should.
