Some ovens present more of a challenge to repair than others! This Delonghi Oven was no exception, as the fan element is secured from the rear. To complete the repair successfully, the oven must be removed from it's installation to release the element.
With the appliance disconnected from the electricity supply:
Remove the oven rear cover (5 screws) to expose the fan element
Remove the appliance top cover and rear cover to expose the element tags
Remove the live, neutral & earth wires from the element tags
Release the two bracket screws (found within the insulation)
Remove the remaining tag screw from the element (inside the oven cavity) & remove the faulty element
To fit the new fan element, follow the previous steps in reverse
Complete the appropriate electrical safety tests then switch the oven on to function test
Allow the appliance to reach full temperature to allow the residual oil contained on the replacement element surface to burn off (the new smell)
When you're happy that the element is burnt off.....you're good to go!
Hopefully this information helps you further.
