Removing Convection feature of convection oven
We have a convection oven, but never use the convection feature
(bought it used from previous owner). It takes up a few inches of space in the back, so I want to remove the fan and heating element. I see when I pull the coil out, it extends into the back of the oven a ways, and there's a white foam substance there, too. Can I simply remove the heating element? I imagine I need to open up the back of the oven to do so; anything I should be aware of? Thanks. |
Why not just isolate one of the leads to the fan? Tom

Hi, We have a convection oven, Make, model#? http://www.applianceaid.com/model.html Some model# helps. but never use the convection feature (bought it used from previous owner). It takes up a few inches of space in the back, so I want to remove the fan and heating element. Why? You would have to access the back of the range and disconnect the wires for the fan motor and for ( if it has one ) the seperate convection element and tape up the wire ends. On the inside the fan cover at the back of the oven can be removed to pull out the fan motor and element. I see when I pull the coil out, it extends into the back of the oven a ways, and there's a white foam substance there, too. Insulation, high temp insulation is whitish. Can I simply remove the heating element? I imagine I need to open up the back of the oven to do so; anything I should be aware of? Thanks. Unless you want to buy new racks you won't be gaining any space at the back since the original racks won't fill the whole space anyway. jeff. Appliance Repair Aid http://www.applianceaid.com/ |
