My oven caused the circuit breaker/trip switch to 'trip' the other day
Everything seems to work fine now except it won't generate any heat whe
using the oven - the grill works fine though.
A work colleague said it could be the element and that he'd replace
one before and it wasn't too difficult. I first pulled the oven out an
took the back cover off. I quickly realised I should be opening it u
from the inside to get to the element, but noticed two scorch mark
(see back_view.jpg, scorch1.jpg and scorch2.jpg) on the insulatin
material. I still thought my best bet was the element so put the bac
cover back on and went to look inside.
The element looks fine to me (see inside.jpg and element2.jpg) and
couldn't remove the fan itself in order to investigate behind the bac
panel of the oven interior.
Are the scorch marks 'normal' or are they a likely cause of the ove
not heating? If they are related, what could have caused them? I'
expect them to be closer together (they're on either side of the oven)
but that's only because the two wires connecting to the element enter a
the same point and also the scorch marks don't look like they wer
caused by heat from the inside, though there's nothing between all th
gubbins at the back and the exterior panel at the back that looks t
have caused them either.
All advice most appreciated. The oven is only 3 years old and I'd lik
to repair it myself if possible - with the help of some knowledgeabl
folk on this board of course!
Many thanks in advance,
