Electric Cooker not heating...

[whazza22]

Any ideas?

Sister called to say the cooker is not heating. The hobs work fine and so does the grill but the oven isn't.

Going to pop over tommorrow.

Any help would be great

Thanks

Cooker element?

Take a low ohms meter with you and do a resistance test on the element.

Eg. If you have a 2.5Kw element then by Ohms law, you need to look for a resistance on the element of about 21 Ohms in a healthy element.

230V/10.86A = 21 Ohms

also, if element reads OK, check switch which will have a stat tube, burnt connectors are a fav.

Element was my first thought.

I found THESE to be quick and much cheaper than places local to me for elements.
