Electric oven stopped working

Dec 16, 2005 3 Replies

Its a DeLonghi gas cooker with electric fan assisted oven, model GDF 603. The fan's still working, but no heat from the element.



Where shall I start checking, or leave it to a an electrician ? Do the elements burn out ? It's about 2 years old.


could be a gone element, burnt switch, thermostat, or oxidised connectors that push onto the element. Dead element is most common cause. All these can be tested with a multimeter on the low resistance range. If youre able to make sure its fully unpowered, its not hard to check which the problem is and replace. But by your q I think you need to ask yourself if you know enough about what youre soing to ensure your own safety. If not, either let someone else, or stick around and read till you do.

Where did you buy it from? You may find that your statutory rights will get you a repair from the retailer.
