Testing, Diagnosing & Replacing a Beko Oven Grill Element
Comprehensive Guide to Testing, Diagnosing, and Replacing Your Beko Oven Grill Element
If you own a Beko-manufactured cooker, you're in the right place. In this guide, we'll cover how to test, diagnose, and replace the grill element in your oven. The grill element plays a crucial role in various cooking functions, such as convection and fan oven settings, and issues with it can cause your appliance to trip the electricity supply on certain programs. Our video specifically demonstrates a Beko CIMYA91B cooker oven, but even if you have a freestanding cooker, a built-in double oven, or a built-in single oven, the principles will apply. Let’s dive in to troubleshoot and resolve these problems.
In this repair guide, you will learn:
- Diagnosing common problems with the grill oven element.
- Testing the element correctly to ensure it's functioning.
- Replacing the grill element step-by-step.
By watching our video above, you will learn how to test & replace a fan oven motor on these makes manufactured by Beko: Altus, Arcelik, Arctic, Atlas, Aya, Blomberg, Cylinda, Davoline, Defy, Elektra Bregenz, Eskimo, Euromaid, Faber, Federal, Flavel, Grundig, Haka, Howden, Lamona, Leisure, Logik, Magic, Montpellier, Perfect, Point, Privileg, Rotenzo, Stoves, Winstar.
Step 1: Isolating the Electricity Supply & Removing the Oven Door
Before you start, should make sure the electricity is turned off at the fuse board. This step is critical for your safety. Your cooker may be hardwired or plugged in, so turn off the main switch if necessary.
Since removing the oven door will lighten the appliance and prevent damage to the glass, you should watch our video to learn how you can easily remove your oven's door. For older Beko models, you need to bend the catches on either side to release the hinges. For newer models, simply press down the catches to release the pins and slide the door off.
Step 2: Removing Your Beko Cooker Oven
With the door removed, you can now proceed to lift the cooker. For double ovens, you can use a table or crate with a towel on top to avoid scratches and ensure stability. You should remove the screws holding the cooker to the cabinet chassis (two for single ovens, up to six for double ovens).
Carefully lift and slide the cooker out. If your oven is hardwired, you will need to cancel the electrical connections, including live, neutral, and earth wires. You should also use a screwdriver to release the isolation socket clips.
Step 3: Removing the Top Panel & Testing the Grill Element
To access the grill element, all you need to do is remove the top panel of the cooker. Just unscrew the two screws on each side and the screws at the rear, and be cautious of sharp edges. Your oven's panel may hinge away, which provides access to the appliance’s interior.
Continuity and Ohms Testing:
- Unplug one side of the element.
- Set your meter to continuity to check if the circuit is complete. If you don't have one, you can buy a new multimeter via our affiliate link.
- For a more detailed check, set the meter to the lowest resistance (Ohms).
- Test the outer and inner circuits. A good element should show approximately 54 Ohms, indicating it’s functioning at 1100 Watts per circuit.
Earth Leakage Testing:
- Use an insulation tester to check for earth leakage. This equipment simulates a load on the element to detect any leakage.
- If you don't have an insulation tester, disconnect all wires from the element, tape them up, and test the oven on different functions to see if it trips the electricity.
- If you don't know how to do these, you can always refer to our video above.
Step 4: Diagnosing Other Potential Issues
If your oven's grill element is in good condition but still not working, you should also inspect the selector switch. Burned contacts or damaged connections could be the culprit. Again, use a multimeter to check the voltage across the circuits. If there’s no voltage, the selector switch or thermostat may need replacement.

Step 5: Replacing Your Beko Oven Grill Element
- Disconnect the power again.
- Remove all wires from the old element and unscrew it from the rear.
- Carefully slide out the element, avoiding contact with the thermostat probe.
- Install the new element by reversing the removal process. Ensure all connections are secure and the thermostat probe is undisturbed.
Now, you are able to reconnect the electricity and test the oven on grill functions to ensure the new element works correctly. If you have any questions about your cooker or oven, please provide your brand, full model number which is written on the identification label, and a detailed description of the issue. Please visit our Contact Us page and make sure you fill out the request for what your problem is. A video shoot of the problem would be perfect as well.
