Hello all

My daughter’s oven tripped the house electrics recently, and since then the lower part of the oven doesn’t heat up. Some research suggests that the bottom element has gone, so she’s ordered one and I’ll be going there to fit it for her when it arrives.

I can’t find any service manuals/how to guides for this model. I’m hoping the element can be changed with the oven still in place (I’ve seen instructions for ovens that can and others that have to be removed because access to the rear is required)

Can anyone help me prepare for the job? Any advice on this model will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Jase

Thank you Dave, that’s the answer I feared.

Hi all

Well, the element we ordered came back and looks nothing like the one in the oven. While the oven was out I checked it all over for a model number, and couldn’t find anything. The front panel matches a EOSV2, but the element that was in it looks like the one that’s fitted to a EOSV3

This is the element that we ordered, and doesn’t fit:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/133144904814?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=133144904814&targetid=909953938039&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9045381&poi=1007429&campaignid=10199630338&mkgroupid=105678500367&rlsatarget=aud-629407027345:pla-909953938039&abcId=1145985&merchantid=137674489&gclid=Cj0KCQjwirz3BRD_ARIsAImf7LNiArMyE6dg9-4_TyyXsj9ts_HyRGxK3IJrzG8YyWB41JBkONZCRGIaAuPXEALw_wcB

…and the element that is in the oven (and is cleary blown) looks like this:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-CATA-EOSV4BK-EOSV3-Base-Oven-Lower-Cooker-ELEMENT-1100W-/143358366608

Can anyone please offer me any advice here? I don’t want to fit an incorrect element on the basis that it looks the same.

thanks

Thanks , I’ll get my daughter to measure it.

Dave, the one you linked shows it in the tray, I removed it without pulling the tray all the way out, should I have?
