Any recommendations for fan oven repairs?

Think its the heating element that's gone.

 

Not used them, but these have a 5* rating on Google.

Thank you.

 

Are you, or anyone in your house, quite ‘handy’?
Often, the element can come away from it’s housing and could just need pushing back in. Or if it has gone, have a close look, with a torch, you should be able to see if it has a hole burnt into it, then it does need replacing.
To replace it, you can order on eBay and usually get next day delivery. Then to change it, you just literally pull the old one out (there may be a screw holding it in) and push the new one into the housing.
This isn’t my field of expertise but is something I have done myself before.

 

Me too

 

We've used Nick Brown (NGB) a couple of times - he's a good guy and we'd recommend him.

 

I had one repaired a few weeks ago, took me an age to find someone who would actually come out and assess it. Heres the invoice with the costs

 

Bloody fan ovens…Are you trying to kill the environment, you should only use candles to cook over, you heathen

 

If it’s just the element it’s easy enough to change. You tube videos talk you through it. Basically only 3 screws.

 

As others say Helen, it really is a case of just undoing a screw or two, taking it out, putting a new one in and then fastening the screw(s) again. There’s a good chance it doesn’t even need replacing though and it just needs to be recalibrated. If you’ve still got the manual it will explain how to do that.

 

Unfortunately I'm not. Knowing me I'd break the wiring or something!

 

It’s no more difficult than changing batteries in a remote!

 

I knew you'd be able to do it!! I looked on you tube and it had wiring that needed disconnecting and connecting?

 

You wouldn’t be touching wires. I would best compare it to changing a light bulb, but definitely, first of all, just try pushing it back into its housing.
I once bought a replacement element, and only upon attempting to remove the ‘faulty’ one did I realise it had just worked loose over the years and needed clicking back in.

 

Make sure you get a manufacturers part,some dodgy Chinese replicas about burnt out again in a couple of months

 

Yes but in reality that just means pulling them out and pushing them back in just like you take out old batteries and push them back in. They just click in and out.

 

Dearne Valley repairs have always been reasonable when I've had to have an element replaced in the past...

 

I know it's common sense...but please make sure it's disconnected before attempting any of above. We don't need a glowing red Helen...

 

The best bit is you can back out at any time so why not just take the screws off and look at it first of all? If you then go ‘nope’ just fasten ‘em back up (or don’t) and get someone in. If you think ‘that wasn’t so bad’ then give the wire a little pull (make sure electric is disconnected - a multimeter can be handy here if you’re unsure !) and if they come out easily order a new element. If you get worried then just get someone in, no harm done.

 

Yes turn electric off at fuse box,people saying it’s easy,you got to drag cooker out,take all screws to get back off
