Whirlpool AKZ151/wh not heating

[bluemoonste]

The power tripped out last night and now the oven will not heat up. Everything else seems to function fine though.

Could it be the thermal fuse or element and how do I get to these and test them ? More importantly where could I source replacements from ?

Appreciate any help you can give me …. grilled pizza is no fun !!

Almost certainly the fan oven element gone from your description – you’ll need one of THESE.

Power off if you intend to deal with this yourself.

Many thanks Penguin45. Is it just a case of taking the back off the oven and pulling it out ? Are they easy to fit ?

You need to remove the inner panel from the rear of the oven cavity for access – it is basically a screwdriver job.

Managed to get the heating element out tonight and measured it with an ohm meter. It measured infinity, does this mean it’s goosed ?
