    Hi,

    I have just removed the bottom oven fan element on a belling 637, and found that the left terminal has 2 black wires jumpered together, but the right terminal connector only has 1 yellow wire connected…

    does anybody know if i’ve disconnected one by mistake, or this is the usual?

    TIA,
    Rob.

    Logic would dictate that one side comes from the thermostat and the other is a return NOTE it is not uncommonto have a “live” feed and a “switched” return in appliances, ALWAYS UNPLUG BEFORE POKING AROUND

    If you have 2 heating elements on the same circuit, yes they can be looped….or it may just be a looped return from another circuit(saves wire!)


    That they’re both the same colour would suggest they have the same function.

    for future reference, a digital camera is the best thing to record before you disturb!
