That's why we have created this simple-to-follow guide that will help you to replace your fan oven element with ease.
How To Replace Your Fan Oven Element:
- Before you start any work, please make sure that your oven is turned off on the wall. We don't want you to electrocute yourself.
- Once your oven is safe to work on, you can remove your oven door and shelves - this will make it easier for you to access the fan oven element itself. To remove your oven door, simply move the latch to the open position on your hinge. Next, close your door and lift it out - but please be careful when lifting out your oven door, as the last thing you want to do is drop it and shatter the glass.
- Now that there's nothing getting in your way, you can remove the front panel that is protecting the oven fan and element. This is usually held in place by four screws. Remove the screws and panel - but be careful not to lose any of the screws!
- Right, now that the front panel has been removed, you can remove your faulty fan oven element. This will be held together by three screws; remove these screws and take the element out. You'll notice that there are some wires attached to your element - we'll tell you what you have to do with them next.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Before following the next step, please take note of the order these wires. We recommend taking photos of them before you pull them out.
- The wires will be attached to your element via spade connectors. All you need to do is pull them out, but be careful - you don't want to damage the wires.
- Now that you've disconnected your element, it's time to connect up your new one! Using the photo you took on your phone as a reference, re-attach the wires; then screw the element and front panel back in place; finally, place the shelves back inside your oven and re-attach the door.

Your oven thermostat is very important; it is responsible for ensuring that your oven heats up to the set temperature and that it remains regulated at all times. That's why it's important to know how to replace your oven thermostat if you find it is no longer working.

Now that you've purchased your oven thermostat, the next step is replacing it - but if you're not a cooker expert, this can be difficult. This is where Cooker Spare Parts comes in to help! Below, is an easy to follow step-by-step guide that will instruct you through the process of how to replace your oven thermostat.
Step-by-Step How to Replace Your Oven Thermostat
- Safety first! Please ensure that your cooker is switched off at the mains before you begin to replace your oven thermostat.
- Next, locate the thermostat that is currently fitted to your cooker. The control of your oven thermostat is situated behind your control knob, and the capillary tube is situated at the top of your oven cavity.
- To get to the back of your cooker if you have a built-in oven, you'll need to remove it from its cavity. To do this, remove the fitting screws - located on the rim of your oven - and unplug the cables. Then you can lift it out of the cavity.
- The next step in how to replace your oven thermostat is to remove the oven door. To do this, move the latch on your hinge to the open position; close the door up, and then lift it out.
- Unclip the capillary tube. Now that you can access the inside of your oven, you can now remove the thermostat's capillary tube which is situated at the top, and back of your oven. To remove it, simply un-clip it, move it around and let it hang in your oven.
- Next, remove your back and top oven panels. These may be held together by Torx screws, so it may require you to have a Torx set.
- Remove the capillary tube. Now that you have access to the back of your oven, you'll be able to see the wire feeding from the top and around your oven, and into the oven cavity. Pull the capillary tube out of the oven cavity.
- Now, you need to remove the fixing bracket that is keeping the wire of the thermostat in place. This again requires Torx screws.
- It's now time to remove the control of your thermostat. Before removing anything, we strongly recommend you take note of how the wires fitted; so when you come to rewire your new thermostat, you can do it in the same way.
- Take a photo of how it is wired. Once you have taken note of how it's wired, you can remove the clips and the control knob.
- Remove the screws that are holding the thermostat control in place. Then you can simply remove the thermostat from the control panel.
- Finally, to replace your oven thermostat, just do the opposite of what you have just done - fix it to your control panel; rewire it; feed the wire through and fit the capillary tube back into the oven cavity, and fix everything back together.
