CDA fan oven taking ages to heat up

[menderman]

Help needed please. CDA 9002/1 Oven. Noticed that oven started to be slow in heating up – about 1/2 hour to get to 200. The fan is working, took the fan and element cover off inside the oven and noticed that the element does not glow red.
I did replace the same element almost 7 years ago for a slowly heating issue but that one clearly had a section that had expand and burst open but even in that state half of it still glowed red.

get plenty of blown elements with no damage at all

you would need to measure the resistance with a meter to check if its failed

Thanks for your help. On closer inspection it does look like a slight bulge and distortion on a 3 inch section of the top of the 3 wound layers. It is screwed in from the back and by the time I have pulled it all out and got it out to test I may as well put a new one in I think. It is 7 years old which is about the age that I replaced the original one.
Is there any on here.

its very likely this one but ask shop just in case

You state model as CDA9002 but is it CD9002 ?

This is a gen element which should be a better quality than the pattern units

Yes sorry it is CD9002/1
I have also found this one https://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/ele2015ego-premium-compatible-fan-oven-heating-element which says “premium” pattern at £16.96 and then there is an even cheaper one at £14. Not fancy the £14 but the £16.96 may be worth a go, not sure.

I would fit gen every time if the price is not silly

had far too many cheap ones fail after 6 to 12 months

Thanks for your advice.

Update. Sorry for the late reply, I replaced the element and its all working as it should now. After taking the old one off I could see only a slight deformation in it.
One note for others is that the element came without a screw thread in the fixing plate holes so I had to search my box of bolt oddments to find 2 suitable m3 nut and bolts.
I did fist contact CDA but they informed me hat they no longer supply that model element.
