Last year it started emitting a weird chemical smell which is worse at

smells 'toxic' and I don't want the food contaminated.

Any ideas, other than to pay a fortune to call out an engineer who will
probably tell us we need something replaced? *Apart from the bulb which has
gone and the awful smell the oven works fine.

If it is a fan oven, the motor that drives the fan may be on the way
out (ie overheating)
