coot Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The draw above the oven is getting very hot the veneer on the draw front came off the glue melted. Is this normal our is the oven not insulated properly. We have a 2017 A class Dethleffs Advantage. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Most German made vans don't have ovens so the German manufacturers probably aren't that well versed in the correct installation technique - assuming there is one, regarding ventilation. Probably the only solution is to install a vent in the sidewall of the van to dissipate the heat. Suggest you ask the dealer for his comments and long term solution to the problem. Maybe the oven has a manufacturing defect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerC Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 As the MH is still under warranty it is (IMO) a clear case of back to the dealership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Ours has a metal shield that slides out just above the oven. It stops the heat from the oven damaging the drawer above. I assume this shield was inserted by Hymer when it fitted the oven on the production line. Apart from rattling when we are on the road, the shield works well.

Apart from rattling when we are on the road, the shield works well. Our old Pilote had the same but took us a while to realise it was there. It was well tucked away.

lancepar Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Probably no help because it's a different oven but...... Is there a seal on the oven door? We couldn't understand why when using the oven it was not comming up to temp' but the control knobs were getting hot together with the grill area. I tried to find why, insulation missing/not enough air etc but had to admit defeat and get it fixed. I hadn't noticed the door seal was missing when we bought it. Doh.

monique.hubrechtsgm Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If it is a fridge,oven,or microwave, they must have heat flux. To protect their containment for heat. It must go somewhere. Most ovens have a funnel to the top roof.And their must be air circulation from cold to hot. Check for interruption in their Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keninpalamos Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 A case of " oh look theres a hole we'll shove in there." No thought to the fact it may get a little warm... hopefully, or should we fit a heat shield to stop the occupants being incinerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
