Review of Carron enamel stove

not pleased with the carron stove

8 years ago

I have had 3 stoves they all seem to crack on top and the door handle keeps working loose, the ash pan has buckled and the fire bricks are crumbling. Carron have replaced the stoves but when I asked for replacement parts they told me to get a written report this stove was installed 31 September 2015 and these parts have a 2 year warranty.

Stove expert replied: Warranties on stoves do not normally cover the parts which are deemed as consumable (eg bricks), being asked for a report seems a reasonable request when several are under discussion as in need of replacement after such a short time.
