Diplomat ADP3101 oven only getting slightly warm

[Parp]

Hi guys,

When we bought our present house it came with a new MFI kitchen and Diplomat ADP 3101 built in oven. That was 3 years ago and since then I’ve had to replace the oven’s fan element twice. It’s apparently not unusual for these elements to last less than 12 months, but that’s by the by.

Last week, we noticed that the grill was not working and I put this down to the grill element having gone, but I never got round to doing anything about it. Then, a couple of days ago, my wife was cooking some meat in the oven and took it out after the appropriate length of time only to find it barely warm. The oven itself was only ‘warm’ and nowhere near hot enough.

Am I right in thinking that the grill element doubles as an oven element and the fact that it has blown explains why the oven itself does not get as hot as it should?

If that is the case, are these grill elements readily available?

A quick look at the setup suggests that the whole oven will have to be removed and the element fitted from the rear. Does that sound right?

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Cheers
