How can I fix the thermostat on my Cannon Camberley main oven?

i also have a cannon gas cooker and the sensor over the flame has also snapped off and although the flame will light ok, it does not flare up at all to heat the oven..i suspect this is the sensor to the thermostat and therefore i'm sure in my case also this has got to be the problem and not the seals or flame failure sensor.Any ideas where the thermostat is located would be of help.i cant see it from the back of oven and i suspect it may be underneath the oven itself..not sure how difficult a job it is likely to be though, its hard to find any relevant info

I am having the same problem, no matter how high you set the temperature, it never gets above gas mark 5. About a year ago I had exactly the same problem with the top oven. As the cooker was still under warranty, the engineer came and replaced a seal/gasket at the back of the oven that had perrished. The engineer explained that this seal/gasket either seals the top oven when in 'oven mode' or is open when being used as a grill. I am suspisious that the problem with the main oven could be caused by a similar thing....investigating at the moment but trying not to call an engineer as the warranty has expired and I don't fancy paying a huge bill! Please let me know if you find a solution before me.
