Question

Its a flavel leisure rangemaster 110 gas oven and one of the ovens wont get hot !!

Answer 1

Go to the store and get an oven thermometer and see how well that helps you

Answer 2

The best way is to see if you can borrow a digital thermometer with a fly lead. This is a lead about 1m long that you can put in the oven, then check the temperature easily from outside.

If you know somebody at a Lab, school, or heating engineer they should be able to lend you one.

Or get an infra red thermometer that take an instant no contact reading.

Ovens are usually only about +/- 15% accurate anyway, most people will only discover this over time as stuff over or under cooks as expected, such as a loaf, or a ready meal with specific instructions on the packet.

Answer 3

Put an oven thermometer in the oven, turn the oven on to 350 F degrees and then see if the two agree when the oven is completely heated.
It might be that one or more of the gas jets is clogged. In that case hire a service person to repair it.

Answer 4

You could put a pot of water in the oven.
Set the temperature for 100 degrees celcius. The water should boil. If it doesn't then you know you have a problem.
Then you can go out and buy an oven thermometer if you need more accuracy.
Then google the problem and see if it's fixable.
