Rangemaster Toledo 30 - The glass in the oven door shattered. The cooker was bought in May 2006 so is out of warranty. Rangemaster does not want to know and neither does the retailer. I am concerned that there are safte issuse (denied be Rangemaster) and that it may be a "Friday afternoon" product especially as the small oven fan is now rattling. Any thoughts?

No not if it has never had one fitted by the manufacturer as it wont have a safety device fitted to close the gas supply in the advent that the lid is closed while a burner is still a light which would shatter the safety glass and cause injury to the user. Some glass lidded cookers where imported to England when i was an apprentice gas engineer and no safety device fitted and the lids exploded and where soon made illegal.
Hi there folks It also happened to me, so after ringing rangemaster they said it can happen due to faults in the glass, unfortunately my warranity had run out and they wanted t charge a fortune to repair. so i had a look inside the door my self which is only four screws on the sides to remove the outer skin to find it was a single piece of ordinary toughend glass about 300mm x 300mm fixed in place with six clips like the ones you find one those glass picture frames, i got a new piece from me local glass merchants for less than £10 and it took only mins to fix job done, I hope this help someone and it my save you quite a bit of cash Cheers folks Markbricky
The problem is with the glass. They apparently did not use a strong enough tempered glass during manaufacture. I would call the company and tell them what has happened. They should replace it. It must have been a design flaw or something else. They should make it good. They may want to make a recall.
Yes, the handle, doors and knobs can all be removed, in fact (If I remember correctly) the unit is delivered with at least the handle/rail at the top not fitted. I would still suggest that you visit the supplier with a tape measure and suggest that if they want sell you a unit, they reassure you by showing you a packaged unit, or demonstrate the removal of the handle.
The problem is that the holding screws that secure the glass in place were most likely OVER TIGHTENED.All the screws around the support holders of the glass have to be tightened just right and the glass can cool off without the pressure that makes it pop.
this noise probably means that the fan is about to stop working, this is what happened to mine. You can easily buy replacement fan off E-bay (it seems easier to find the right fan on e-bay that any of the confusing supplier sites). You then just need to remove the inside oven back and the outside electrical to replace the fan.
