Just purchased a new grill and oven element for a hotpoint ew74 oven but forgot to draw a diagram which wire goes where on the element please help

check thermostat for open,,,otherwise change element

I don't think the thermostat would be at fault because neither of your elements are heating up. On the back of your range there are sometimes plastic sleeves that have a wiring diagram folder up in them. If you can scan that in and post it, I may be able to help.

I would say you are right on your wondering. look at your manuel and it will show you a diagram

The grill element should not 'blow' by just touching it - it should be earthed. The elements do gradually disintegrate over time & the inside wire element either fractures or touches the element casing causing the mains to trip. Sometimes this makes it trip just once & then stops working. Replace the element - not usually any fuse in circuit with this. Often held in by 2 screws adjacent to the element at back of oven and conections via Fast-ons- Rick

it seems to me that it is a fan oven and the top element won't heat up you need a new fan oven element. it is a round element that sits behind the back grill surrounding the fan...

If it is the main oven element, then undo the screws that secure the cover at the rear of the oven, remove cover, and you will see the round element there.
Undo screw securing element, and pull forward in to oven compartment.
Detach the wires, and fit new element.
Hope this helps you.
Please leave feedback.
Thankyou.

You need to replace the element. Very easy job remove the back plate from inside the oven (4 screws) and you will see a circular element held in place by one screw in the centre of the fixing plate. Remove the fixing screw then remove two wires and refit new element job done.

The fan oven element has failed, you need to replace it with a new element.
You need to remove the inner rear cover of the oven.
There you will see the element..
Unscrew and disconnect the leads and refit new element, be care ful not to lose the wires behind the element aperature.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

...If you can help me to remove the grill element from my EOB944, I will be able to tell you the wirings.
