Fan Oven Element Connections - Detail
Figure 6 above shows the connections and fixings in more detail. These will vary from oven to oven, however identification of them is simple. The fan element fixings are always going to be close to the round fan motor which will always be located about the centre of the oven. The fixings will also vary with some elements be held in place with screws whilst others with nuts and bolts. In our case there are 2 screws holding the element in place. There are 2 electrical connections and 1 earth wire. It matters not which way round the 2 electrical connections are placed, however, it is essential that the earth wire is reconnected in the same place. In some instances particularly with Bosch/Neff ovens some of the replacement elements do not have an earth tag fitted. In these instances where an earth wire connected to the original element it will be necessary to isolate the earth wire to the wiring harness in order to keep it safe from the fan motor or live connections.
