Re: Lamona HJA 3220 not fully heating

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, finally got round to fixing this!

It was the lower bake element but not exactly how we expected. Yesterday I removed the oven from the kitchen unit and removed the rear and bottom covers, test heated the bake element and found that the centre loop wasn’t heating… Looked like I’d need to order a new element.

But then, I looked at the back and found there was a dent in the casing (Circled in red) and this had been causing heat to escape and eroded the connection (See below):

I popped to Maplin and bought a some new connectors, striped the wires and replaced. Sanded the erosion off the contacts and worked perfectly, better than before.

Thanks for your advice on this, saved me a lot of money… Think it cost me about £1.50 in the end.
