Changing an oven element
 

One oven has ceased to function. The neon shines, the fan spins and the
light works, so I imagine it must be replacement element time.

Can't get the old one out yet, but when I do, any thoughts on a
replacement? Looking at eBay, prices range from less than a tenner to
well over twenty pounds. Would a cheap one be a waste of money?

Cooker is Rangemaster 110 dual fuel, if that matters.

I don't know about cooker elements but I have just ordered some
dishwasher parts directly from Zanussi and found they are cheaper for
genuine parts from them than pattern compatible parts elsewhere.

Zanussi £5
Espares £7.20

Be thankful it's not a £50 Neff one, if I could have found an OEM
element I would have got one instead.

No. I installed cheap elements in a grill and they have been just fine.,
The originals - well one of them - failed after 35 years ...

I doubt the ownerr will live another 35...

Thanks, both. Managed to get the old one out, and it is clearly stamped
2500W, as expected. Dated 1997, which is about right.

There are plenty available via eBay, so I'll pick one at random.

Cheers,

I assume its the only element in that oven?
Some have two one each side.

Just one at the back, Brian.

Same with me for practically all Bosch parts (washing machine, tumble
dryer, dishwasher etc.). Apart from the very occasional ridiculous one.

Our Neff oven element went last year.

Replaced it with "RS120674 Compatible Fan Element 2300W" from
www.ransomspares.co.uk for the princely price of £11.90 including VAT &
Delivery.
https://www.ransomspares.co.uk/parts...00w/120674.htm

It's been in action for 12 months now no problems. Whether it will last
another 10 or so years to match the original who knows but I'll still be
replacing it with the £10 one if it fails again.

Thanks for the comments. Ordered a replacement element, 8.99 including delivery, and it arrived yesterday. Fitted this morning and jobs a good'un. Delighted.
