Stoves Electric Oven - Works Fine Until I Turn The Knobs to OFF

Hi

We are about to move house and we have a strange issue with out stoves electric fan oven.

It broke a few years ago and we had an engineer out who 'fixed' it.

The behavior we are seeing is that the oven works totally fine and you could leave it on for hours and it wouldnt cut off.
Once you have cooked your food if you turn the temp dial and function dial back to the off position the metal front casing begins to get hot and then the oven cuts off. once the temperature drops to around 100 the oven comes back on and will work absolutely fine.

You can stop this from happening by turning the temperature knob to 0 and then leaving the function knob at fan oven until the temperature drops to around 100.

I suspect the engineer has bypassed something but I am not an electrician so wouldnt know exactly what?

Does anyone know if this is something that could be fixed without too much expense?

thanks in advance

Gary
