bulbs blow from incorrect voltage in use or loose ground wires ( arcing out)
if they fail while the oven is on it is because the bulb construction glass is wrong
bulbs used in ovens need a special heated treated glass and are generally only available from the service agent
failing immediately on turning on indicates a bigger problem that the bulb so call in an electrician to test the system
You do not need the clock I removed it and wired the oven direct.The wires are easy to get at when the front panel is removed. If you look at the manuals on line they will guide you with the correct wires to use
The instructions state:
1. Ensure the oven is disconnected from the electrical supply.
2. Turn the glass cover anticlockwise.
3. Remove the faulty bulb and replace with the new one.
4. Refit the glass cover.
5. Reconnect to the electrical supply.
If you are not knowledgable in electricity, call for service.
This is an electrical short at the light, I have seen this before.
The wiring for the light has grounded to the oven. This causes the main fuse to blow. You will need to fix the short first. Then reset the main fuse/replace.
In the case of the wall oven, you may have to remove the oven to fix it properly. Depending on the model and where the short is.
Electric grill most often uses heater element to heat up.Maybe your heater elemen is shorted to oven body thus tripping the safety device.Check your grill system using insulation tester.If the insulation is low check the heater elemen insulation and if defective replace them.
You should be able to remove the element without removing the oven. Open the door and remove the back panel, normally 4 screws. This will expose the element. Then it should be 3 or so screws holding the element to the frame, remove these and slowly pull the element towards you carefully, then remove the 2 wires from behind and make sure they don't fall back into the oven as you will need to remove the back panel to get them. Then reverse process to install new element. Hope this helps.
Turn off at the wall and remove the light cover inside the oven by turning anticlockwise, this may be stiff, I use a well wrung out dishcloth. You can see the bulb, which should be screwed out of its holder with care, also care when replacing. a I screwed mine in too hard and snapped the holder, but my oven is 5 years old. Hope that helps
If you cannot reset the oven timer, then it will not heat the oven.
This being the case, then it is possible in some cases to bypass the timer, or the alternative is to to replace the timer.
If you cannot hear the fan going, then it is possible the fan is faulty, and the element has probably failed as well.
Both these components can be accessed by removing the panel at the rear of the oven compartment
I would first of all try another bulb, if that does not work, then could be a faulty door switch, or bad contacts in bulb holder.
If you can access it, then disconnect the 2 wires going to the door switch and join them together, this will prove if the door switch is faulty, or if there is some other fault.
More than likely the grill element has failed, if the element light comes on, then I would go for the element.
If no light, then probably the grill switch is faulty.
Hello,
Was the oven tripping the the fuse before the element was replaced,also did you take the oven out to do element because the element can be done with cooker in place it may be that you pulled out the connections block at rear of unit and it is touching body.If tripping before replacement the fault could be any where on the oven.You will have to check it through.
Hi, If your electric oven is not heating then you probably have a bad heating element in your oven. This is not that hard to fix yourself... Check out this tip that I wrote about the Oven not heating problem..
It depends on the make and model, that number you quoted is for your slot in oven,the hob is a seperate unit.They could cost more than the hob is worth but if you get the model number and relog the question maybe we can help.
This tutorial will show you how to check your Zanussi element and how to replace your Zanussi cooker element.
Here are the 3 main faults to look for in your oven or cooker that is not heating
Your oven will not work until the clock/timer has been re-set after replacing an oven element or tripping the electrical supply. Consult your Zanussi manual.
If you're Oven is not getting hot or heating up it could be a faulty element, if the fan in the oven is running and the thermostat light is on, this will lead us to believe that the element has gone faulty. With grills the thermostat light should come on there should be heat, if not then this could be the grill element or the thermostat.
When you turn the oven on, the household electrical supply trips on the Rcd (this is the earth trip in the fuse board sometimes called the breaker tripping) your fan oven element has gone to earth and needs replacing.
oven is not heating then you probably have a bad heating element in your oven. This is not that hard to fix yourself...
