Simplicity assisistance How do you remove the heater element

you can indeed here are the steps to check you eliment

Turn off the breaker inside your main electric panel providing power to the water heater. Most electric water heaters use a 30-amp double-pole circuit breaker.
2 Look for the panels attached with screws to the side of the water heater. Depending on the size of the water heater, you will have one or two panels. Remove the screws from the panels to release them.
3 Remove the insulation you exposed when removing the side panels. Depending on the age of the water heater, the insulation is fiberglass or closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam. Wear safety goggles and gloves when removing fiberglass insulation.
4 Pull the plastic safety cover from the element face. This cover snaps on and off the element and thermostat.
5 Hold a noncontact voltage detector next to the wires connected to the element face, and next to each wire connected to the thermostat. If electricity still is present in the water heater, the voltage detector emits an audible alarm and its light flashes.
6 Loosen the two element screws. Remove the wires from beneath the screws. Make a note of the element wattage printed on the side of the element face.
7 Turn the dial on a multimeter to Rx1k (resistance times 1,000 ohms). Touch one of the screws on the face of the element with one of the multimeter probes; place the remaining probe on the remaining screw. A 3,500-watt element should register 16 ohms, a 4,500-watt element should register between 12 and 13 ohms, and a 5,500-watt element should register between 10 and 11 ohms. Replace the element if it does not register on the multimeter.
8 Leave one of the probes touching one of the screws on the element face. Touch the other probe to any metal part of the water heater. If the multimeter needle moves, the heater element is grounded, and it must be replaced. Make sure you test both screws on the face of the element.
9 Touch each screw with one of the multimeter probes. Place the remaining probe against the metal base attached to the element where it enters the water heater. The element is bad and must be replaced if the needle on the face of the multimeter moves.
10 Attach the wires back to the face of the water heater element. Snap the plastic cover back over the thermostat and the element. Reinstall the insulation and attach the panels to the side of the water tank. Turn the breaker on to the water heater.

Things You Will Need

• Screwdriver
• Safety goggles
• Gloves
• Noncontact voltage detector

Make sure wires are removed from element when ohm-testing.

Watt and voltage rating of element appears on end of each element.
Volts squared divided by watts = correct ohm testing.
Two-element water heaters are rated for 240Volts, but can be wired for 120Volts.
Check that water heater is receiving power from circuit breaker box.
So if breaker is 2-pole 240Volt, then check that heater is receiving 240 V across top two screws on upper element.
Replace upper element.

Does it have the wattage on it anywhere? For simplicity if it is a 4400 watt and you are running it on 220 volts, it would be 4400/220 which would be 20 amps. Now you can put in your own numbers and figure it out yourself. Hope this will help you. Please rate my answer so I am rewarded points for it.

The heating element is on the back side under the dust cover.
You gotta remove a strap at the top of the heater chamber and then you can get the heater assembly out. Remove the filter and raise the top:

The element is on the right

The heater

the heater element slides out after ya remove a screw at the base.

Safest method:
Shut off electricity to heater.
Shut the water valve.
Drain heater to below the level of the element, open hot water valve in house to vent heater to speed draining.
If the element is on top, you don't have to empty the heater.
Remove old element, install new element.
Leave hot water valve open somewhere in the house.
Turn water on.
Once air is removed at hot water valve, turn electric on.
Shut water valve.

If it is a fan assisisted oven, and the fan is working o/k, then it is pronably a faulty fan oven element that is faulty.

Start by removing the top cover, and unplugging motor, then try it, if still trips, then disconnect heater, it is likely to be one or the other.
Hope this is of assisistance to you.

Make sure that you have not got the energy save button in operation, as this by-passes the heater, and will wash at the incoming water temp. It should not be showing green
If this is not the case, then the heater has probably failed.
To access the heater, you need to remove the top cover, remove the soap dispenser drawer, and undo the 4 screws securing the console panel to the top of the washer.
Pull off the timer knob, noting the position of it, and slide the console panel to the right, support it with something.
Remove wire cllip holding door seal to front of panel, and pull off the seal at the front.
Undo the screws securing the front panel at the top.

Undo 3 screws at bottom of front panel.
Lift front panel clear,and stand it at the right of washer, be careful of the wires still attached to the door lock.
At the bottom, in the center, you should find a black cover, remove that, and you will see the heater element.
You eally need a meter to test it for continuity, and or an earth fault.
Replace if faulty.
Please leave a fixya rating for my suggeted solution.
Thankyou.

If it is a fan assisisted oven and the fan is still working, then you need a new oven element fitting.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

I would suspect that the fan oven element is faulty. what I think is happening , is as the element gets hotter, the insulation is breaking down and causing the trip to operate, it is quite a common problem
You will need to fit a new element.
If it is a fan assisisted oven you will find the element behind a removable cover at the rear of the oven compartment..
Plz rate my solution.
Thankyou.
