Show time!

Or rather the day of the cooker door, come around once again after 15 months or so. See reference 1. And reference 2 for the time before that.

Handle fell off again in the course of yesterday's bread bake, so at it this morning. Did it once to have the handle fall off again. On further inspection, I decided that the female thread for the relevant screw was probably stripped - only a soft bit of cast aluminum - and needed a bigger screw. Poked around in the screw box to find one which was the right gauge and only slightly too long and have now installed it. Not terribly satisfactory, but I was not confident that I could shorten the screw sufficiently neatly.

For the record, against the case that I actually bother to read it before the next time, take the top bracket of the door off the cooker rather than off the door. That way you don't have to fiddle around with tweezers with the floating attachment.

And put the bits and pieces down in an organised way so that you remember which bit goes where on re-assembly.

Bit poor this second one, basic fitting. The first one is a bit more specialised and one could not be expected to know just by looking. But one could be expected to read the instructions...
