I have a SUK61MFX (2002) version oven from Smeg, and on Monday evening, the oven was not heating up when on Fan assisted mode. It does however work on grill or oven without the fan. Am I right in thinking that this is the fan element? as the fan itself IS working.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Ive just tried to replace mine, got the element from ebay, but the connectors for 2 of the wires have come off, does anyone have a wiring diagram of how this should go? and I need to put new spade connectors on 2 wies,

The exact same thing has happen to my Smeg oven, it does not heat up on on fan assisted mode, but does heat up with the grill or without the fan. Do you know which element has gone?
Kind regards

It is the element by the sounds of it. There are three elements - the grill, which you can see, one below the base plate and another behind the facia plate at the back of the oven. That's the one that's gone.

If it's the same as mine (just blown) then it's a circular element of three coils just screwed to the back with short screws. If, as I was, you are a bit careless disconnecting the wires, they can fall through the aperture. Then you need to pull the oven out and remove the back. Not difficult - six screws - but boring.

Now I'm trying to find a replacement element which is not easy. Electrical stores don't stock them because there are too many variations and website suggest the design has changed and needs additional fittings to install. Very tiresome, but essentially easy to remedy if you can get the bits.

I haven't got an answer but the exact same thing has happened to our oven so wondered if you have managed to resolve it yet and which part you have ordered? Thanks
