It seems my oven has just died. It won't heat. The lights work (oven light and thermostat light), the fan works, so I assume it's just the heating element. It's a Prima, type FCEM6, model LPR 811. I can't seem to find spares for that model but there is a LPR 812 - will a heating element for that fit?

And I'm on my own, so pulling the oven out is going to be an issue if that's necessary.

In the meantime, I guess it's pizza tonight.

Is it an easy replacement job for one person?

I believe there is even an installation video on that page I just linked you to :).

It was, in fact, a massive embuggeration. The wires didn't come through with the element - not enough room so I had to take the oven out, take off its back, fit the element, then reverse the steps. And getting it back into its frame was a bear.

Anyway, it's done. Thank you for your help.
