Hi there Have recently moved into a house with a Belling 626 white, electric cooker and the grill doesn't seem to be working. It has a mian oven, top ovem and "dual grill". The main oven works fine as does the top oven. I'm not sure whether or not I know how to work the grill properly. If I just turn on grill nothing happens but air blows from the top of it (the element part, which I'd expect to turn red, doesn't heat at all). If I turn the top oven on, the element does heat up though, but doesn't turn red. I have no manual. Any ideas? Thanks a lot...

Fitted the new element but it didn't work either... Fitted the new element but it didn't work either...

you will need a multimeter, get to the connections when Isolated from the mains , make sure thay are secure. then with great care select A/C above 250 range if not auto ranging, switch on the power, switch on the grill , some models you have to switch past the top over it has a sign with a horizontal coil, switch to this if no heat from element, measure the voltage holding the insulated part of the probe, If no reading, switch the main power off, then look at the back chassis the should be a component mounted on it behind the grill element, this location varies depending upon model.
with power off examine if there are any signs of burnt replace, the numbers are essentual to obtain the correct one, if no burning check with the meter with the power isolated for continuity, put the meter in resistance low level there should be continuity, between the pins if no contiuity replace the component and try again, let me know how you get on.
