I have bought the element but cannot fit it in my oven as the fan is in the way of one of the screws.

There is a screw above the fan which fixes the element in place. How do I get to this as it is behind the fan and I cannot remove the fan?

  • I came across the same access problem with the fan in front of the top retaining screw. To remove the fan You need to take off the nut (reverse thread) then pull off the washer (use some pliers) - the fan also pulls out (rather than screws out) - mine didn't move easily but a bit of 3 in one oil and a brave pull with some pliers on the hub straight out got it off.

    The fan is designed to be removed as it is replaceable if difficult to remove the nut try some lubrication to help free it to get to the screws to the element.
