shallow depth ovens

Personally I wouldn't touch a " built-in " anything. I think that when these things pack in the only remedy is to either purchase another one or block the hole up and buy a proper oven with an eye-level grill.

Apologies for still living in the stone-age but the older ones were still the best. I don't do modern.

Do you know the name and model of your old oven? Does the manufacturer still make it?
Have you tried asking kitchen fitters where you might find one? That would be my first port of call. There must be an oven out there to fit a shallow hole!
Good luck with your search.

Hello plum & welcome to Gransnet.
Not a problem of mine, but a friend had just the same as you - a 500mm space to fit a new oven.
In the end, in desperation, she got her old one repaired.

Having said that, I’ve just replaced my 20 year-old standard size oven. I’m in love with my new one ?
It’s just so much better than the old one - technology is marvellous in my opinion.

In your position, if your old one can’t be repaired, what I would do is go to a kitchen company and see if they can help you.
Good luck.

Thank you all, make & model no longer available, and repair was not an option! Will get in touch with kitchen fitters and hope we will find one to fit! Thanks again

Have you considered the built in microwaves which have grill and oven facilities., these allow you to bake and roast as in a normal oven.

You would have to check the depth obviously but just a thought.

Success! B & Q Cooke & Lewis CLSB 3663602842804 ( in case anyone else has the same problem ) .Mr P fitted it and we are ready to go tomorrow, had to get gas engineer in this morning to rearrange pipework, nightmare over! Thank you all

Glad you’re sorted plum

So am I !!
