Hi
I bought a replacement oven element 8 months ago for my Belling Oven (model XOU252). The element has been working fine but today it stopped working. The rest of the oven is fine. I turned off the mains and took the back off the oven to check the element connections. The 'live' terminal of the element has corroded meaning that the live wire has fallen off. When i reconnect the live wire, the element works BUT i can see small sparks at the point of connection with the live wire. I guess that this is what has corroded to live terminal.
Are the sparks due to the debris of the corroded metal, or have the sparks created the problem in the first place. If so what do you think has caused it?
Wiring problem?
Thanks
