Grill element has blown and I have bought a replacement but I need details of how to remove the existing element as it isn't obvious to me how it is removed.
Any help greatly appreciated
1 TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE OVEN
2 open the oven door and remove all the stuff from inside the oven
3 Unscrew the four screws which hold the oven in
4 close the oven door.
5 Slide the oven out of its hole. You will need something to put it down on very near the oven as the cable is likely to be short. I used a work bench with a large wooden box on top.
6 unscrew the back plate of the oven ( two hex head screws at the top, not the two in the outer corners but the ones which point towards the floor)
You can now see the back of the element
7 Unscrew the two nuts which hold the element in place.
Remember which way around the wires and nuts go.
8 Un-clip the spade connectors from the element. They should just pull off
9 Open the oven door and unscrew the two screws in the ceiling of the oven and remove the old element.
10 insert the new element and screw to the ceiling
11 reattach the wires and tighten the bolts and screws as they were before
12 re- assemble the oven.
