    Hi all,

    I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

    Zanussi ZO S5 Electric Fan Oven

    The grill still works.
    The oven does not heat up, the fan works.
    I think it might be the element?

    Can you get a "yellow pack" version?
    Any idea of cost?
    Would it be easy enough to remove old and put in new one?
    Is is a DIY job or should I hire a professional?

    If any of you could point me in direction of somewhere I might get one I would appreciate it. Dublin, South East or online.

    Thanks a million :)

    Yes element is likely gone. You need to switch off cooker switch powering the oven and take the back cover off the cooker/oven and remove fan cover inside the oven, then usually from the back remove fixing screws or bolts, and pull off the terminal spades/connections. You might be able to order one online cheap enough. Put the make and model into google.

    Might be possible to do it all from inside some ovens wothout removing the back, but i usually do remove the back anyway to verify element is gone.

    I changed the element in my oven yesterday. I ordered it from here http://www.elementman.co.uk/
    It took a week to get here and I found them to be cheapest.
