Okay so not typically electrics, but wanted to post this here and hope some kind folks could give me their opinions.
My oven stopped heating (fan and everything else running) so assumed element needed replacing, and ordered new one online.
Went to change it and noticed one of the wire's insulation is breached, and although in amongst some glass wool is right next to the metal
body of the oven itself.
Oven not in warranty but now in a position of what to do, so contacted Indesit who told me it wasnt a safety issue. I pressed
and they said they would send someone out but if it was deemed not a safety issue I'd be charged a callout fee.
I'm not crazy though right - this is massively unsafe? (It may look like ive somehow sliced the insulation on that opening, but that opening is
rounded off and it was like that already, i've just pulled them gently through a bit to get to element as per normal.
