Flippin cooker on the blink

[LordOfTheFlies]

It's a Zanussi Electolux electric fan oven cooker with halogen hob.

The hob and the top oven still work.
In the main oven the fan still works but no heat.
Sooo, I'm hazarding a guess it's the heating element.
The cooker itself is 7 years old.

Anyone had this?Any idea of price to repair it?

Want to get it fixed before Christmas. Typical. Pah!

TIA

Aaaw c'mon MNetters- I need help here.

I've got to phone round some repairers soon and I need to know if they are ripping me off they are having a laugh.

I replaced the heating element on my last cooker. It was very easy. I ordered the part from a web site and it cost about £20. The element was behind the back panel which was held on by 4 screws. I took off the back panel and then on the heating element were 2 wires that pulled off. I pushed them onto the new element, screwed it back in place, replaced the back panel and I had a working oven again. Took about 10 minutes.
Remember to turn off the electricity to the oven first!!

I did what dexter73 did.

Have a look on youtube, there's a few parts suppliers who have 'how to' videos and links to their website to get the correct part.

this type of thing

I have a Zanussi electric freestanding double oven for sale for a nominal amount (after house move) if youre interested and in the Surrey/Hants area?

Do check that it's not something else weird. I thought ours had packed up last week when the electric had been on and off a few times due to work being done in the house. It was fine once I switched it off at the mains then back on again.

Anyway from what others say it doesn't sound too ££ or difficult, and if you know you can do it yourself (watch the vid online) then you're in a better position to judge value for money should you decide you want a pro to come out and do it.

Thanks for the advice

Will get DH to look on-line for the element and the fitting directions. (The fan still works so electricity is getting there)

Maybunny I'm in Essex so miles away. Thanks anyway.

No worries - hope you get it sorted :-) x

much more likely to be the element than anything else (wiring or stat, for example). 7 years is not an unusual life for an oven element (sometimes the insulation fails and they trip the RCD sooner than that)

you say the fan is running so that takes away a surprisingly frequent "fault," when people have forgotten they left it on "timer"
