Step 1: Diagnosing the Fault
Before buying parts, you need to be sure the element is the problem.
Safety First: Unplug the cooker or switch it off at the wall.
Access: Remove the back shroud (the metal plate inside the oven covering the fan). It’s usually held by 4 screws.
The Continuity Test: Use your multimeter set to Ohms (Resistance).
Place the probes on the two terminals of the element.
Good Element: Should read between 20Ω and 30Ω.
Bad Element: Will show "1" or "OL" (Open Loop), meaning the internal wire has snapped.
Step 2: How to Replace the Element
If your element failed the test, here is how to swap it:
Remove the Wires: Carefully pull the spade connectors off the element terminals. (Take a photo first so you don't forget where they go!)
Unscrew: There are usually two screws holding the element to the back of the oven cavity.
The Swap: Pull the old element out and slide the new one in.
Reconnect: Screw the new element in and reattach the wires firmly.
