Diagnosing the Problem

Before diving into repairs, it's crucial to diagnose the issue correctly. Here are some common signs that indicate a faulty fan oven element:

1. Oven Not Heating: If your oven isn't heating up, the fan oven element may be broken. There is also another repair guide for Hotpoint ovens, which you can also visit and learn valuable tricks from.

2. Tripping Electricity: A short circuit in the element can trip the electricity.
3. Partial Functionality: If some oven functions work while others don't, it may be due to the element failing.

Before starting to repair, you should make sure about your safety. First of all, isolate your power source by disconnecting your Beko oven from the mains supply by switching off the appropriate fuse or circuit breaker. After that, you should also ensure no electricity is running through the appliance by testing it with a multimeter. If you don't have one, you can buy a new multimeter via our affiliate link.

Removing Your Beko Oven Door

1. Lighten the Load: Removing the oven door makes the unit easier to handle and prevents damage to the glass. That's why, you will need to detach your Beko oven door.
2. Detach the Door: On modern Beko oven models, you will only need to press down the catches on either side of the door hinge. Then, you can lift the door to its natural position and slide it away from the unit.

Accessing Your Beko Fan Oven Element

1. Remove the Oven: If you have a built-in oven, you should carefully remove it from its housing. This may require two people for heavier models. We suggest you watch our video to learn a couple of tricks for easy removal.
2. Top Panel Removal: Right after, you will remove the screws securing the top panel of the oven. This will vary by model but typically involves screws on the sides and rear.
3. Rear Access: You can access to your fan oven element from the back of the oven. Once you access, you can easily remove the necessary screws to expose the element.

Testing the Fan Oven Element

1. Continuity Test: To be able to test your elements, you should first disconnect the wires from the element and set your multimeter to the continuity setting. While you are testing the fan oven element, if there is no continuity, it means that the element is faulty and needs replacing.
2. Ohms Reading: Next, you should set your multimeter to measure resistance (ohms). A typical 1800W element should show a specific resistance value. We suggest you use Ohm's Law calculator to verify the wattage.
3. Earth Leakage Test: If your Beko oven fan element is tripping the electricity, you can also test for earth leakage using an insulation tester.

Replacing Your Beko Fan Oven Element

1. Disconnect and Remove: Now, you should remove the wires connected to the element, and then undo the screws securing the element to the back of the oven.
2. Install the New Element: Gently place the new element in position, secure it with screws, and reconnect the wires.
3. Reassemble the Oven: Then, you will need to reattach the top panel and the oven door but make sure all screws are tightened properly.
4. Reconnect Power: Once you install the new element, you can reconnect your Beko oven to the power supply.
5. Test the Oven: Last but not least turn on the oven and set it to the fan oven function. Make sure that it heats up properly and that the indicator light functions correctly.

Troubleshooting Other Cooker Oven Problems

• Selector Switch & Thermostat: If your oven still doesn’t work, you should inspect the selector switch. Faulty contacts here can prevent the oven from operating correctly. In addition, please make sure that the thermostat is functioning. Power should flow through to the element when the thermostat is on.
• Timer Relay: You can also check the timer relay if the oven isn’t responding. Power cuts or faults can damage the relay, preventing the oven from working.

By following these steps, you can successfully diagnose and replace your fan oven element in your Beko electric oven.
