The main oven heater element has once again blown on my Creda Reflection 48196 cooker..I have fitted a new element with no luck. I have checked the new element and the resistance reading across the terminals is 35 ohms..I have also checked the voltage from the cooker and this is only reading 18.2 volts.Is there a problem with the cooker output as it seems very low? Any help would be much appreciated.

You may have a faulty switch (high resistance). Isolate the cooker from the mains input, ie switch off at the breaker and measure the restance from the incoming live terminal on the back of the cooker to the oven element with the oven switch on , you should get 0 to say 1 ohms, make sure you are reading the live terminal on the element or you will read through the element and get a reading of say 30 ohms anything higher and you have a bad switch. this can happen when a element blows as it puts a high current through the switch assembly
