Hi guys.
The above range oven has a 1800w fan element and the user is complaining it takes for ever to warm up which when tested took about 20 minutes to reach 150c. The problem has been there from new apparently but as its used in a semi commercial environment nobody has bothered to question it till now.
The fan motor is working ok as is the thermostat and its hard wired into a 45amp radial.
The overall wattage for the oven is 10.4w so I’m assuming a higher wattage element could be fitted.
Am I right.
Regards.
Chris.
Re: Flavell FL95CRX.
I’d be changing the fan and element, if its the Beko type fan impelor in it change it to a Belling type. They are slow to reach full temp’, double check the door seal is good & door is closing tight, terminal block connections are tight etc. You could in theory put in a higher wattage element but bear in mind tha appliance was manufactured to a specification, so the selector switch contacts, thermostat contacts may buckle under extra load.
