If your oven is no longer heating up and your food is cooking unevenly, then you may have a fault ...If your oven is no longer heating up and your food is cooking unevenly, then you may have a fault with the fan oven element. The fan oven element is responsible for heating the oven cavity in order to cook the food. In an electric cooker when the cooker knob is turned on, electricity flows to the element which causes it to heat up. Once the element reaches the desired temperature then the electricity flow switches on and off to maintain the temperature. This process is controlled by the thermostat. The following faults typically indicate a problem with the oven element: The fan oven is blowing out cold air. The oven won't heat up at all. The element doesn't heat up during operation. There are bright spots or uneven patches on the element during use. *Remember that a blown oven element may not be the only fault that can cause these issues to arise. Ensure your fan oven heats up correctly with this quality 2400 watt replacement element. Please check model fit list to ensure this part is correct for your model.
