I've got a fairly old (about 8-10 years) neff electric oven (standalone under-counter single electric fan assisted oven, conventional, not microwave - sorry don't know what the model is, it doesn't say on it). It works fine, except that part of the door handle has broken off. Because of the construction of the oven door, the handle is required to hold the rest of it together, so it looks like I've got the following options:
i) buy a new oven
ii) get a replacement door
iii) repair the door
Doesn't look like ii) is an option (the repair people I've called up won't replace the door), and they won't repair it either. Admittedly I've not called up that many people though. I'd obviously rather not go for buying a new oven if I can avoid it.
I was hoping I could fix it myself, by ideally glueing it back together. Does anyone know if I could use araldite for something like this? I'm a bit worried about its heat resistance (the bit I'm glueing could get quite hot; it's not actually inside the oven, but does contact it), and any potentially dangerous fumes etc. that might be released from set araldite that has heated up.
