Condensation in the oven or on the hob contacts is a regular problem when a property has been unoccupied for a while.

We had problems returning after 2 years, it was condensation in the oven and hob, it may cause permanent damage to oven. Start by turning it on at a very low heat to attempt to dry it out. Good luck I hope it works. I think our element has gone  due to this problem.

Hi all just thanking you all again for your great support and advice. It looks as if it was condensation as some of you had suggested as he had the oven and washing machine etc and everything has been fine for the past few days so fingers crossed it's all good 

Again the forum members provide the best advise and support 🙌👍...
