I turn the oven on the light that tells you that the elements are on does not come on right away then in about 1 minute it will come on flickering and does not heat

Hi,
If your electric oven is taking too long to heat or just not heating up right,then check out this tip that will give more detail about your problem.

Oven Problems Electric Oven is Heating Slowly or Poorly

First things first, the grill only works with the door down. Directly you shut it, a microswitch operates and shuts the elements off. ( Of course the top oven operates with the door shut).
There are two options for the grill. Turning the control switch to the left operates the inner element only. Turning it to the right operates both the inner and outer elements together.
With either option, setting 5 (the max) has that option on full, whereas settings 1 to 4 switch on and off.

Hi Lyndsay,
Sorry to hear about your oven,
Are you in the GTA , If so call 905-501-8436 for a free quote
If you are elsewhere , how handy are you or a friend.
With the plug pulled, put a Ohmmeter across oven elements.
They should short out. That is good. if not replace element that didn't short out.
If both elements work then it is you thermistat, which is not to hard to replace

if it is the b180, the answer (having just fixed this) is really simple.

The coily bit is the oven element - it will have gone. A new one from eBay cost me about 6 quid.
[WHEN IT ARRIVES !]

Turn the power off.
Inside the oven use a philips screwdriver to remove the 4 screws (KEEP THEM !)
You will see a coily thing and a fan.


You unscrew 3 more screws (2 on the left and 1 on the right).
(KEEP THESE TOO!)

now ... bit tricky, have the new one inside the oven and take each wire off one at a time and put it on the new element.

Screw it back on but DONT put the last panel back in.

Turn the oven on maximum for about 2 minutes and see it glow red.

Turn the oven off. Make a cup of tea and have a couple of biscuits while admiring how good you are and waiting for the element to cool down!!!

Put the final panel back in place. Whole thing (including a cup of tea) takes about half an hour.

i would say you have a bad board

Possible fan oven element

Hello.
If the fan is working, but there is no heat, then it is the fan oven element that needs to be replaced.
It has nothing to do with timer on this occasion.
Remove panel at rear of oven compartment, there you will see the round element.
Undo fixing screws,and remove element, disconnect leads and fit onto new element, refit new elemrnt, replace cover, and job done!!!

Please leave a fixya rating for my solution.
Thankyou

If the fan is working o/k then you need a new element fitting.
Remove the panel at the rear of the oven, there you will see the element, remove the fixing screws and ease the element forward,taking care not to lose the wires, disconnect the leads and fit new element.
The light flickering is probably the bulb not screwed in propely or a bad contact, nothing to worry about.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks

Unplug it right away, .and fit a new element a.s.a.p.
No need to call fire dept.

i solved the problem by replacing element . new one cost 23 euro from electrolux spare parts dealer .1 undo 4 screws of plate inside the bottom oven . [ plate has holes in a circle patern in the middle of it ] . 2 gentle remove plate and expose the element .3 element has 3 srews .undo these and gentle take away from ovens backwall wall this will expose 2 wires that are connected to the element .3 very gentle unclip the wires from element . {grip the clips not the wires } connect new element and replace all screws and outer plate . this worked for me ....... remember to turn off the power to the oven before you go at it .
