How do you change fuses in a stove/oven?

oven won't heat beyond 300C - all fuses are 20 or 30 but now can't tell which I have replaced or which size should go where - does it matter?

It matters.... a lot.

Your oven will have a nameplate that gives

its rating.

The fuse should be the smallest thats a minimum

of 125% of that rating.

If there's a problem with the oven, overloading

the wiring to it won't improve the situation.

(The above assumes that your wiring was

correct to begin with.)

Fuse size is not relevant to temperature! Sounds like a bad or out of calibration thermostat! Good luck! ;-)=
There is no fuse in an oven, but if you are talking about the

fuse box or circuit breakers, it is always 50/50 amp.
