Caple Electric Fan Oven Issue

[roltster]

Hi all

My oven packed in the other day and after going through all the symptons I worked out that the heating element has gone.

I have now order a new one and am in the process of replacing it which according to numerous forums is very simple.

I have removed the old element and am due to put the new one in. However, when I removed the old one (from the inside as I haven't had to remove the back) only one wire was attached to the element. Is this right? All the video tutorials I have seen show two and sometimes three wires connected to the element.

Any ideas?

The oven is a Caple C2211SS.

Thanks

Check on the appliances forum, or look for online documentation, but generically no, it is very much not right. An element needs two connections for it to work, and if one has come off then it would look just as if it had failed.

There might have been nothing wrong with it.

Can you see another wire anywhere?
