Changed element on Bosch HBN7050GB built under oven?

Success! I have fitted the thermal limiter and the oven now works normally.

OK, I think I've got the answer. Isolate supply at the consumer unit. Check that the oven clock is off. Remove the oven from its enclosure. There are 4 xhead screws. Pull and it will slide forward. Lift it clear.

Remove the rear cover. Looking at the fan unit you will see a small cream coloured component fitted at about 2 o'clock from the fan. There are two wires to it. This is a thermal protection unit. Mine was burned and testing supply to it with a multimeter showed that when the oven was turned on it had 240v. However, no voltage at the other side. Have ordered a replacement from uk whitegoods for £11.64 inc p+p. Fingers crossed it's the cure. Will report when it's fitted.

I am having the same problem. I've been told that the half-moon element surrounding the fan often blows because the fan is running too slowly and so the fan should also be replaced. However, my fan runs fast and I have connected a new element but it will not heat up. As everything else works on the cooker (top oven, lights, fan, etc) works normally.
