Fitting a grill element in an oven

[rupert the dog]

Hi

Anyone got any experience of this? The grill element's packed up, but other oven functions are fine. Is it easy to replace the element? It's a John Lewis oven, and I can get a replacement for around £30, but if it means calling in a spark and it's going to cost hundreds maybe I should just buy a new oven. Thanks.

On our Neff oven, it was simply a case of undo a blanking plate, half a dozen screws and four wires . . . . . . a relatively easy DIY job

I have replaced oven elements before (not your model though) and it has just entailed undoing a couple of self-tappers and an electrical connection. Just make sure the electric supply is turned off before commencement.

1) Get replacement
2) Switch off power
3) Replace. 15 minute job
4) Feet up, hundreds saved

I recently replaced the element in our fan oven, and was really straight forward.

I found videos on YouTube which gave basic instructions, which I found helpful to point me in the right direction.

I also had to replace the thermostat, which was again straight forward if you follow the youtube vids.
