Has anyone else had the same problem with this cooker, as I am wondering if it is a design fault within the cooker.

The one in this machine is no worse and is actually better than some others. I have had Bosch & Electrolux (Zanussi) elements failing in less than six months quite often. 😥 Are you fitting genuine elements? Think you may be a little out with the age as well, first produced in 2002 and superceded a couple of years later.
