Help! I can't get my old Nouvelle oven up to temperature. I've cleaned the filters, the flue was swept a couple of weeks ago and she was cleaned out under the hotplate then with the oil ways cleaned and new wicks. She's running with a blue flame in the burner box (the sort with three lighting holes toaster type?) but it doesn't matter whether the knob is turned to max or just on 1 she stays at 100 and won't budge. I've put the low and high fire rate up a bit as she's breathing better but nothing is changing. She hadn't had her flue done for years so I guessed flow rate may have been turned down to compensate for the flue being coked up. Other half wants to get rid of her as it is and at the moment she's playing right into his hands! The boiler side is working fine so I don't think it's oil flow problems up to the valve otherwise that side wouldn't work or would it? I know Nouvelles are a pain in the butt and are pretty obsolete but I want to keep her going for a bit longer. I'm hoping to get a more up to date model when we get the kitchen done.
