Hi,

I am wondering if anyone knows where I could purchase a new complete oven door for my Thetford Aspire 2 SCK23XXX Series. I put my unit in for a service having bought it privately last July. Unfortunately the technician noted that the inner glass and retaining brackets were missing on the oven door. We had not used the oven and missed this completely. I am now being told that you can only replace the door completely, as the inner glass retaining brackets cannot be bought as seperate spare parts. Now I,m being told that this oven has been discontinued, and I may not get a replacement oven door and may even have to replace the oven completely, which I am reluctant to do as it looks as if it has never been used. Whats your thoughts or advice, obviously I am trying to source a replacement oven door while trying to avoid the purchase of a new oven as a very last resort.

A Google search on your oven came up with this site. Hopefully it helps. I used them for a glass top which was smashed and had good service from them.

Thanks looks like there were no brackets and it simply is held in with 2 x screws

Turns out the cooker/oven has been discontinued and the inner glass no longer available. Managed to source a complete oven door replacement with inner and outer glass had to be special order though

Turned out that I sourced several suppliers who have said they have the complete doors in stock although some took a while to respond back & some said the doors were not available. However I am a little peeved that none could supply the inner glass only, which is the only piece missing. The oven in all honesty looks as if it has had limited use or has not been used at all, probably as a consequence of the broken inner glass panel being missing which may have happened very early on in the life of this van. The previous owner did say they had never used the oven, so may have been a clue in that statement. We had not owned a van previously so were pretty green, but will deffo know to check for the likes of this when we change. Also found out the solar panel regulator was gone, a few months back, so had to replace that. However, solar panels now working perfect. Just had van serviced and the technicians commented on the overall great condition of the van, apart of course for the oven door which they quickly picked up on. Suppose I should be thankful everything is as it should be, with only minimal parts missing.
