13 Questions and 30 Answers
- WD40 definitely helps. Few sprays and then left for 1 hour and fan easily removed
- This would not have been possible for me without the above advice, thank you all! I'm going to bed. (Service excellent, arrived less than 24 hours after ordering and works perfectly)
- Definitely worth using WD40 or similar. I spent ages failing to prise it off, then gave it a shot of GT85, waited a couple of minutes and it came off quite easily.
- Once the fan is off. cut a notch out of the fan so you can remove the element without taking the fan off again.
- the nut holding the fan is reverse threaded so you need to turn it clockwise. You then need to remove the small washer. A bit of WD40 and patience should allow you to slide the fan off.
- Remove oven from housing, unscrew back panel to get access to cables and screws to fan housing. Remove three screws to fan housing at the back and it will loosen fan inside oven. tilt fan down whilst unscrewing top screw to element. Is a fiddle but will work.
- Reverse threaded nut, hold fan and turn nut, prise off the retaining washer and then pull the fan forward (sharp tug required) - hey presto screw is ready to remove.
- I was unable to remove my fan in order to get to a screw behind the fan to remove the old element. There were 3 screws on the back board of the oven which I removed which did loosen the fan to some degree in order for me to get the screwdriver in to remove the one difficult screw!!! Perserverance does pay off...
- Remove the retaining nut and washer by turning the nut ANTI-CLOCKWISE and then pull hard on the fan plate. It WILL come off (maybe WD40 will help)
I have had them fitted and they do not seem to last longer than 6 months - a year and blow all the plug sockets when break down. Could it be another fault causing this problem.
- One thing that I ALWAYS do is to let the fan continue to run for a few minutes with the door open to cool the element, same thing I do with the turbo on the car, to cool the unit down. It seems to have worked as the element has been ok for 3-4 years. PS The electrician who replaced the previous element said that some of these elements have got damp and then fail after a few days/weeks as the dampness turns to steam and blows a hole in the element.
- Oven cleaner that gets on the element behind the cover corrodes the element causing it to fail,be carefull when cleaning the oven not to spray the rear panel.
- same as that and i am an electrician. gonna try bosch part

Hi Angie102a, another potential cause to this problem could be an incorrect current going through the element - although usually a fuse would blow before the element can. I'd advise talking to an electrician on this one.
The 4 screws that cover the element and the fan are corroded (cannot tell if they were cross, spline or hexagonal headed screws.
- Mine were hex head and they would not budge and started to thread. Used a nice sharp flat head screwdriver, angled it behind the screw head and tapped it with a hammer until it came away from the back plate a little. This loosened it just enough to remove with a tight fitting flat head.
- Mine were COMPLETELY corroded and I tried EVERYTHING....... in the end i bought a 'grabit' (I think it's called grabit just google it) and once I'd sussed how to use it (stage 1 needs more omph than i realised) got them out easily
- I used hex head bit in an impact driver to loosen screw aided by a squirt of WD40.
- The heads are posidrive or Philips. Try some WD40 or similar to loosen the threads
Trying to save time! - will I need to remove the over from housing or can it be fitted through front?
- No need to take out the oven - it fits from the front. There are videos on the web that show exectly how to do it.
- Remove oven from housing as easier to remove cables from element and importantly loosen fan at rear to unscrew top screw to element (slightly hidden behind fan inside the oven therefore fan needs to be moved out of the way slightly ie tilted)
- No need to remove the oven, however best remove the door (2 lift up clips, 1 on each of the hinges) to avoid leaning on it an possibly distorting hinges and seal of door to oven body. Everything is reachable from the front.
- No-the element is situated at the back of the oven, behind a removeable panel
I have replaced the element as last one blew and tripped our power but after replacing all connected up it still does not heat could something else have gone - the top oven is working fine. the old element has a couple of chunks out of it after it blew. the fan is working fine. Any thoughts?

It is likely that it has damaged another component when it blew, start by checking the switch and that would be connected to the element.
