Oven not working!

digisatman · 26 Jun 2008 at 20:21

Hi all,

Firstly I don’t know much about ovens. I have a Siemens Fan Oven and Grill( E-nr: HB12320GB / 06 , FD : 8001/502135 ). I put the oven on a few days ago and it tripped the cooker fuse, and it all went off. Turned the trip box back on, and now im finding that the grill works, fan works but oven does not heat up at all.

I took the fan cover off to look at the element, and it visibly looks ok, not sure never seen an element before! Here some pics, any ideas? Cant really afford someone to come out and have a look .

Thanks a lot,

Digi

Its more than likely the element thats the most common thing. Same thing happened to me a few months back. Easy enough to replace.

thanks for the reply, where would I find an element?

Pav89 · 26 Jun 2008 at 20:28

I'd say the element too. Thats the only problem i've encountered with cookers/ovens; they trip the fuse switch and its always the element! :mad:

digisatman · 26 Jun 2008 at 20:31

thanks for replies, i cant see how the element would come out for me to put a new one in. Does oven need to be removed?

You can get spare parts here:

but it seems to think your E-nr is a gas hob, you sure you've got the right one?

The element should be screwed in. If not then you might have to access it from the rear.

Take the back panel off and get a multimeter across the element connections to confirm its not the thermostat.

yeah ive given the gas hob one!, cant find the oven manual atm, thanks for the site, should be able to get it from there once I got the manual with the product number!

yeh I would be surprised if it's the element they're simple things, it's more likely thermostat or one of the other controls.

Get your multimeter out before buying anything.

Should be a sticker on it somewhere, I found mine on the inside edge of the door if that helps.

Nuts on the other side and some kind of rubber sandwich stopping it moving?

digisatman · 26 Jun 2008 at 21:21

Leap in front of a train.

Pull it out and remove the back cover.

digisatman · 26 Jun 2008 at 21:38

pull out the whole oven or the element?

M0T · 26 Jun 2008 at 21:41

Pull the oven out, and put it on the floor.

Remove the back cover and you should be able to see where it attaches, you may need special screwdriver bits though to take it appart.
