38 year old mother of 3 here and ive just fixed my oven all by myself.....just in time for xmas dinner! Thank you so much for posting this video and helping us all out. Im amazed i managed to do it 😂
I very nearly paid someone £135 to do this (parts included). Thanks to your video I did it myself and it cost me just £12.39 and ten minutes. Legend. 👍
I found that when the replacement element arrived the fixing bracket was in a different position to the original one. It meant that if I used the existing lower hole for the element fixing point then the element would touch the fan. So I had to drill a new small hole (2mm metal drill) in the metal back of the oven for the fixing screw. Fortunately this did not take too long. Everything else worked well , exactly as you described in your video. Thanks to much for posting it , has saved me £s and also proved I can manage these jobs myself without waiting for a tradesman to turn up and do it for me.
Thank you so much for this helpful video. Not only have you have saved us alot of worry and forking out £300 on a new cooker or a 3 week wait and probably £150 from an electrician. You have also increased our self esteem about what we can actually achieve around the house. This is exactly what TH-cam is good for. Thank you so much👏
So long as you can gain access to things that need repair - and there is a long-standing problem with manufacturers who make it otherwise - then you can usually fix anything. Luckily, the EU is forcing makers to make everything repairable by the user now and this will improve things, even in Brexit Disaster UK.
Thanks so much for this. I have a question, I ordered a part online which arrived today, however although they are both 2000 W, the original one is 230 V and the new one is 240 V. Is this going to be okay? Thank you 🙏
@leighcanning3849 you sent this to me as oppose to the original poster/handyman. I'm sure you'll find the answer by googling your question though. Sorry I didn't know the answer
Thanks for this video! First time I've followed instructions and something hasn't blown up! Mine hasn't got an earth cable, apparently the oven is earthed itself. Saved me some money and got me some browny points with the Mrs!
Like others I was ready to get someone to fix my Cooker or even worse buy a new one,But I followed your advice and nailed it for £9,59 part from Amazon
Thanks for the video. My oven had the screws holding the element in screwed in from the outside so I had to take the whole oven out and take the back off to access them but once that was done the whole process was very simple, about 40 minutes total time, thanks again 👍
Just replaced the element successfully...not only saving a massive call-out fee (being very rural) and the usual "nah mate, ain't got the right part see" but the added bonus of retaining Man Card and extra brownie points from wife! :)
Thanks for the guidance. Less than £15 for heating element and back working. No call out or labour fee for what was a straightforward fix thanks to you.
I just got the element for £9.00. I tried to find an electrician, but the price I was told it is crazy. I am going to replace it tomorrow with myself. I hope will be easy and more cheap. Thanks for this amazing video!
Would like to thank you for this super easy video I ordered my replacement element last night it arrived this morning and cooker is now working all ready for Christmas next week thankyou
Brilliant! Your superbly detailed video just saved me a packet. Once removed the new element took less than 5 minutes to install. Now I can get on with burning the Christmas dinner in good confidence that my oven is now working just fine 😂. Thanks for your excellent content.
Thanks to this video, I simply turned the power off to the house, found that my oven has the element at the Front so the oven stayed in the wall, one philips head screw driver, 4 screws and only 2 plugs later.. I have one blown element to take to the appliance store to replace for the new one. This video was excellent and another Great youtube moment. 🤙🎥
very good video. explained the replacement process in simple stages and gave me the confidence to try this. One tip I would add is that I tested the electrical continuity which confirmed that the duff element was broken and the replacement gave a continuity signal.
Many thanks for the post, under normal circumstances would have got out the local shop to do the job, but have just done the job myself, thanks to this video it took 2 screws on the back cover and the 2 holding the element to the cooker, many thanks for giving me the confidence to do it myself and save myself £50/60 Once again many thanks,😁😁
Thank you I too can join with others who have been saved money with this video. I ordered the part and replaced the element myself. Oven now working absolutely fine
Cheers Fred, my element just burned out tonight. Thanks to this vid I have it out and a new one ordered up already. I just love all the helpful vids on TH-cam.
Fantastic video, I really hope I can find the element and it is the element that has gone. My oven just wont heat up properly on the fan heating setting, light and fan is fine, but top bottom (grill type) seem to all work, so I guess it is this back heating element thing. I know nothing about ovens but I do know we have not enough to throw it and buy a new one, so I am going to give this my best shot just as soon as I can find the exact element for my oven Thanks so much for this upload, I am sure it has helped far more than have commented that it has!
Thanks I just fixed our oven for £22! For me one of the wires did indeed go back through the hole, as it was a bit loose on the new element. I had to open the back of the oven and push the wire back through. It was pretty obvious which wire to push through. Cheers.
Excellent video, thanks! Job done. With hindsight I'd have chosen a brighter time of day, and also considered that it would involve cleaning the oven... 🙄 One point of safety: allowing the test run to cool down before replacing the cover (yes, I burned my fingers 🤦♀️), and switching off the power again beforehand. Also a practical suggestion: using masking tape across the hole/s to stop the wires going down the back.
Thanks so much for this, i am useless at anything like this but following you video, it was a breeze, saving me an expensive call out and fix fee… nice one 👍
Thanks for the video. Typically, the two screws holding the element to the power supply had been installed from the back so had to take the oven out, remove the back panel just to remove them. They will be going back in from within the oven cavity once I have the new element.
Follow-up: the DeLonghi DC-60DF dual fuel oven has to have the screws fitted from the back as it’s the element that has the thread. There’s no threads on the carcass. 😬
The element in my Lamona 4603 fan oven was exactly the same with 2 of the 3 attachment screws installed form the back, WTF !! Rather than pull the whole double oven out from the kitchen unit I managed to remove the 2 screws using grips on the screw tails and back-wound them out. I then pulled them out using a magnet on a stick through the cable slot. Could probably leave them in there tbh as they are caught up in the insulation and not really a problem. I then opened up the two holes in the new element attachment plate to 3/16" diameter and installed it with 2 suitable self tapping screws fitted from the front . Mission completed in about 20 mins for just the price of the element , about £10. 👍😉
just fixed my oven for £6.99 . What a guy👍🏾. Although, my oven didn’t have an earthing cable (i double checked by taking the back off to see if it had fallen, there just wasn’t one there). So don’t freak out if you can’t find it, “some/newer ovens earth through the oven cavity.” says google.
I was waiting for my boyfriend and/or my brother to replace it. Just rewatched this video and did it myself. So easy, scared my self when I realised that mine only used two wires instead of 3, thought the other one was in my oven. But installed it all myself in under 10 minutes. Is this my calling to become an electrician hahahhahha x
Cheers for posting this: my indesit element died after tripping my electrics. I phoned up my local independent electrical shop, they had the right one in stock and 20 minutes after watching your video my oven was working again!
Hi there. Just changed the heating element on my cooker exactly this way. There were four spade connectors on the new element and not two as we're on the old one. I connected it up the same way as the old element and it seems to be working fine though. Cheers!
Thanks for this video. It cost me less than £7.30 to fix my oven! Element in main oven stopped working after over 6 years service. New one is working fine.
Glad to help. After i paid £110 and watched a fitter do the job i knew i could easy do it myself. Just watch that the connectors dont fall back into the oven when you un clip them.
Good video man, very well explained. Did you know : Ceramic heating elements like this aren't polarity sensitive so you can put the wires on either way round and it does not matter, I would always suggest taking the back off to do a inspection of the wires and if there are any thermal leaks behind the oven that could be burning wires.
@@CB-RADIO-UK.. I have just taken an element out like that one with 3 pins on the back but when I pulled the element out easy ther was only the wires on the big pins each side should it be like that are is ther definitely a wire on the middle pin aswel it's a logic cooker model ldoc60x17 any help would be great as I don't know nothing bout this type of stuff and im afraid taking of the back of cooker now and doing some damage 🙆♂️
@@willythestud1517 I would have removed the back and looked for the Earth wire and pushed it through and reconnected if it was me. By the way some ovens do not use the middle connector so maybe ok.
little tip before removing the spade connectors put a bit of electrical tape over the hole it will stop them popping back in the back of the oven, Once on your new element remove tape
Alternatively, crimp a couple of spade connectors onto some string or similar, and connect to the oven connectors to stop them vanishing. Don't use wire - as any inadvertent switching on of the oven (you did switch it off, yes?) may lead to sparks!
Wow Brilliant video. My oven tripped a switch tonight and now it won't heat up at all although the fan is going and the light comes on so i assume it's the element that's gone - only 18 months old too 😡 I'll give this a bash. Thanks.
Thanks my element has just burnt out and now I know its an easy job I will replace it myself - fortunately there is a electrical spares shop close to me that has a universal part in stock
I was able to replace it myself in 15 minutes - the hardest part was carefully removing the terminals from the old element, apart from that an easy job, it cost £30 for the replacement element, the man in the shop offered to do it for me if I needed him to, but would charge me another £40 call out charge so your video saved me £40
Thanks for this video. My screws have burnt out /gotten rusty on both the two that keep the element secure and the ones that secure the oven back panel housing the fan element. I don’t suppose you know which screws they are to order replacements?
Thank you for your video. I can find the four screws for the enclosure. With a great deal of effort, I can remove three of screws. The final screw is "rusted tight." Do you have any advise on how I can loosen this screw from the rust please?
Hi. You will have to carefully drill off the head of the screw with an electric drill and either punch the shaft of the screw back through its hole or if it sticks out unscrew it with pliers. You can replace it with a new self tapping screw.
@@CB-RADIO-UK Thank yo for your reply. The oven the is fitted between 2 cupboards, an awkward position. Should I be using a thinner drill than the screw or a wider drill then the screw?
Use a much wider drill. If you can run it a slow speed to grind the head of the screw off. Take your time because you dont want to make the screw hole any bigger.
+darkwaterblue Thank you. Yes your totally 100% correct. We had a oven which blew a element under warranty a few years ago. A guy came out and did this job in 5 mins. He recons he charged £115 for the work. I ve replaced another 2 since then.
thank you so much for this. when i unscrwed the element only pos and return was connected, cant see an earth wire?? this was bought dec 2020. any ideas?
Hi, Thanks for the video. My oven was tripping my electrics. So I watched this video and changed the element. It was really easy. However. Now my fan spins very slowly and the element is glowing red hot which it never did before. Any idea. Maybe the fan motor had gone?

I’m trying it out this weekend with my 16 year old son’s assistance🤞
@@Noor-kp1yb Honestly it was so easy. Follow the video and you can't go wrong. Felt like a boss when I fired up the grill afterwards! 🤣
@@Noor-kp1yb I did buy via amazon. 👍
Fred, you are a hero. Took me less then 10 minutes, element cost less then a tenner and I now have a fully functional oven again.
Thanks Fred top man my new element has just arrived. So I will have a working oven tomorrow. Saved me self a fair few quid watching your video.
I was quoted £79 for a call out fee to assess the issue! Fred you are a diamond. Thank you...
Thanks. A model example of an instructional video . . . brief, no waffle, to the point, crisp and clear. Well done.

Thanks for the video. My oven was tripping my electrics. So I watched this video and changed the element. It was really easy. However. Now my fan spins very slowly and the element is glowing red hot which it never did before. Any idea. Maybe the fan motor had gone?
Hi. Yes thats how they normally go by spinning slowly. Replacing fans are a little more tricky esp to get the right fan.
