Element for Convection Toaster Oven
Have a Bravetti Toaster Convection Rotesserie Oven (I know - too many
things in one) here with one dead element out of five. The usual appliance parts places cannot source a replacement element for me. It's a straight element, about 12 inches long with threaded connectors at both ends and marked 60V/400W. Can anyone suggest a source - online or bricks and mortar? I'd really hate to have to dump this for the sake of one element. |

If you are clever, you might be able to adapt an element from another toaster oven to fit in your oven (try for one with a similar electrical resistance). Jon |

Element for Convection Toaster Oven
Buy a second, identical one. Save the first one for parts.

Yes, the elements are wired in pairs which really screws things up! One dead element means two are out Can you post a photo of the element? Nothing to show really. Its just a straight element , overall length 14 1/4" incl. 9/16 threaded section at each end, 1/4" diameter. Have you tried asking at this website? http://www.fixya.com/support/bravetti Yes but could only find user manual.

No useful response to emails. I guess they want customers to buy a new model rather than do a repair. There is not much chance that I would ever suggest anyone but this brand again. |

Eventually got through to Euro-Pro via India to be told that this is not a spare part that they are willing to ship to me. However, if I ship the unit to them they will repair it and return it. All of this is way too much trouble when I only want the element. |
