Range oven - corrosion / leaking heat

[essayer]

The fan oven on our Britannia range is corroding on the rear top edge and leaking hot air into the body, causing issues with the wiring, overheat stat etc.

Can these be repaired easily or is it new range time?
I'm guessing replacing just the oven body would be impossible now (the unit is from 2009).

Unless there's any way to patch in situ? Some sort of sealant that will be happy at 200c+ ? (I don't have a welder)

As this is PH I’d try some gun gum exhaust paste. Get everything as clean as you can before application.

gun gum, I’d forgotten about that stuff! Got to be worth a try hasn’t it.

Although.. is it food safe?

e: I ended up googling what gun gum was made of and ended up here which might be worth a go (don’t quite fancy £2k+ on a new range!)

I've used that on a crack in the back of an old wood stove, works really well.
