just checked its free standing so only 12 months guarentee

to claim of anyone you would have to try and prove damage was in the unit before delivery. that could be hard

does the floor look like its been bent upwards ?

all you can do is gently squeeze the terminal with pliers to tighten it. if it loosens again then the metal may have degraded and it would need a new terminal fitted. if its left loose it will burn out and you may have to replace the element again as it will damage that terminal as well

but they wont sell you the wiring strangely enough
you can get switches, elements but if the wires go your on your own

steel from here

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112773433530?var=413216782753

cut it in half

drill 2 holes and add a rivet nut the correct size

have made these to fit

not tried them yet but should fit a treat

Dave

[electrofix]

put spanners at the back and jam them in. Then use heat with a heat gun or blow lamp
then hit it with the nut on. bit of wd can help but oven will smell for a bit when used next time

its not a Neff is it ?

got 2 of them at the moment

have made 2 brackets will post a pic later so you can see

Dave

[electrofix]

are all the wheels on the lower basket ?

Dave

[electrofix]

yes these were always a pain. changed lots of them and a real pig of a job

Element will have over heated with fan not turning

Dave

[electrofix]

there is a water counter which measures water input so possibly it might be that

Dave

[electrofix]

well check the heater box first as machines often have resettable stat

Dave

[electrofix]

if the fan has stuck it will heat but all the heat will rise

but with these oven the elements were always trouble so it possible the element has distorted and jammed the fan

as or the torx driver Aldi and Lidl often have sets

“The high voltage output lead from transformer to earth, I presume you meant earth leak test? “

no the high voltage winding one end is bonded to the earth. so you will get a reading from high voltage lead to earth. and if yes thats good

“With having understood, all this to be completely disconnected prior to testing so that I don’t fry myself and the oven”

dont forget to earth the diode capacitor junction every time you have had it on.

if it does nothing just double check all the door microswitches are activating
