Gas Oven flame Low - Oven doesn't get much above 140c

[Coco12]

Hi I'm renting an apartment & there is a very old cooker, the make says Samus. The rings work fine & flames go low-high & regulate OK. The oven doesn't seem to regulate or the flame go up, kinda seems constant no matter where you adjust turn the button to increase the flame. I cannot see any regulator & this oven looks so old I don't think there is a regulator from the flame, any clues?

I attach some pictures of the inside of the oven & where the gas exits/enters the oven, via the flamer (don't know the tech' name). I was thinking to swap a button to see if this would increase the flame, but I don't know if the hob/ring button gives the same regulation(?) they all visually look the same.

The oven button moves freely, but the flame stays constant no matter where you position the button, & it has 3 settings off, low & high.

I've attached some pictures to see if this helps, it's frustration as it take forever to bake!

This is as big as the flame gets!

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

My guess is there'll be a thermostat that has failed. I have a range cooker with two ovens. One lights up but stays on pilot, which is what I think is happening here. I think it'll be the thermostat, but since the other oven works I've not bothered repairing it yet.

Get your landlord to call a gas safe engineer, you cannot do diy repairs on gas appliances.

Thanks for the replies, I don't think there is a thermostat in this cookers it looks about 15/20 years old !

Yes, it must be landlord's job to sort this one surely.
