Hi
I wonder if anyone can help – I have a 3 year old Candy built-in-oven which is blowing out fairly cold air so suspect the element has gone. I haven’t a manaual that shows what type of element it is (i.e. 2000/2200 or 2500 wattage but I know it has 3 outer rings) and whether it can be removed from inside the oven – I couldn’t see any retaining screw inside holding the plate so suspect it’s a strictly rear job only!
The make is PL2230/3x Prod code 33800594 but I can’t seem to locate any spare parts fro this oven or as to what type of element is needed and how to access it.
Any help much appreciated. 😀
Cheers MartinRe: Candy Built-in-Fan over – Model PL2230/3X Element replac
I’m afraid that’s the model number for the hob, not the oven.
If you have a look around the inside of the oven door opening there should be a rating plate there with all the details that you need on it.

Hi Kwatt
Thanks for your reply – I couldn’t see a rating plate but will have a good look again tonight. There was a guarantee slip I found that came with it (out of date and all in italian) which quoted model PL 40 AX and a further code no 33800588 – would that be the oven make? If not I’ll re-check later.
Cheers

Hi,
PL40X is another hob I’m afraid.
Best to always check the rating plate anyway, instruction books and receipts often tell lies.

Hello
I’ve now found the model number of the oven – it’s FFP403X Type MR03.
Any help about element extraction much apprecaited.
Cheers

I think it should be FPP 403 X. 😉
Fan oven element is this one: http://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/2015-fan-oven-element
That’s the cheap version, the “genuine” part is almost three times that price.
From what I can see you can get to it without pulling the oven out, there will be a plate in front of the element to the rear of the oven cavity that has a few screws in it. Take them out and manoeuvre the plate out to get access to the heating element.

Many thanks for all your help here – it’s much appreciated. Now for tacking that element!
The plate showing model number had a wee bit of grease on it – should have used a better torch! 🙂

Forgot to ask – does it matter too much if the element is 2200w or 2500w – that one you highlighted sounds very good value for money.
Re: Candy Built-in-Fan over – Model PL2230/3X Element replac
Not really, no.
Just means it heats very slightly faster or slower but not so much as you’d likely notice.
