Is it alrignt to put an aluminium oven tray on the bottom of the titan double triduim oven? Will it damage the element?

The tin foil is there to reflect the heat and the lagging is to stop the heat from escaping.
I would think the foil should not be touching the element but otherwise, your description sounds plausible.

either a wire of the element or a faulty element

You may want to try the correct category.

yes use an ohm meter to test it

Hello,
Believe it or not I wrote a tip about just that..:-)

I've just mended this myself and it took about 15 mins:-)
It's more than likely the heating element, you can get one off the internet for about £20 if you go for the electrolux replacement.
Open oven door and remove the trays, undo the four small screws on the back wall inside - not sure if you have to, but I turned the power off at this point. Better safe than not! Turn this around to the right wall as it won't come right out due to the bit of wire on the right (temp sensor maybe?).
If you've already got the new element you can guess what happens next; take out the 3 small screws holding in the element and gently pull towards you. It's attached to two wires poking out of two holes - take the bottom one off first as it seemed to have less tendency to fall back in the hole (I reckon that could be a real pain to get back).
Hold the wire still and wiggle the old element to remove as you will have less chance of damaging the wire that way. Reconnect the wires to the new element and pop it back together again.
Job done and after a year of waiting we now have double the oven space!

There is a short circuit between the lower oven control and the lower element.
Disconnect the lower element. Put electrical tape on the loose terminals and turn the lower oven on.
If it does not blow, replace the lower element with a new element.
If it does blow, Check the wiring to the lower element for continuity to the frame of the range.
If you get continuity replace the damaged wire..
Finally, check the control knob switch for continuity to ground on the frame of the oven.

If the elements are good and you have checked the obvious connects etc. then it would seem to be the control circuit.

You do not want to set anything on the element. Setting anything on the element, and turning it on will burn up the element, as well as it will probably melt the aluminum tray if it is on the element.

microprocessor burned out? There was a problem of this with the double ovens, after the top oven went through a cleaning cycle.
