What does the fan oven element do?
The fan oven element is responsible for heating the oven cavity in order to cook the food. In an electric cooker when the cooker knob is turned on, electricity flows to the element which causes it to heat up. Once the element reaches the desired temperature then the electricity flow switches on and off to maintain the temperature. This process is controlled by the thermostat.

Is the fan oven element causing the problem?
The following faults typically indicate a problem with the oven element:

o The fan oven is blowing out cold air
o The oven won't heat up at all
o The element doesn't heat up during operation
o There are bright spots or uneven patches on the element during use.
*Remember that a blown oven element may not be the only fault that can cause these issues to arise.

When you should replace an oven element
Fan oven elements are not consumable parts and they only need to be replaced if they fail. Oven elements fail when the internal element filament burns out, this can cause the element to short circuit. There may be visible signs the element has blown such as a split, bulge, or blow hole on the element.

There are a number of factors that can cause an oven element to blow. Damage due to the expansion and contraction of the element coils caused by the element constantly heating up and cooling down is a very common cause. While other causes of element failure can include overheating as a result of a failed thermostat or in some cases a build-up of grease causing the fan motor to run slowly.

Beware of associated problems?
There are a number of oven faults that can contribute to a faulty oven element and if not corrected they could easily shorten the lifespan of your new replacement element. You need to ensure that hot air isn't escaping from the oven as this will cause the thermostat to cycle more regularly, meaning the fan oven element will need to work much harder to maintain temperature.

To avoid heat escaping you should ensure the oven doorseal is in good condition and fits tightly. You should also limit any gaps caused by a poor fitting oven door by replacing the hinges if they have become bent or damaged.
