Using the phone directory or Google, find a store that sells heating elements. Call them to be sure they have parts for your stove.<br />2.UNPLUG THE STOVE. 220 volts in not something you want to mess around with.<br />3. Remove the defunct heating element. With American stoves, that's usually a matter of removing a couple of screws and pulling off the heating element. I've never taken apart a British stove, so I don't know about yours.<br />4. Take the defunct heating element to the store you've found, along with any information you have about the make and model of your stove. The heating element is sometimes stamped with a part number. Buy the replacement part.<br />5. Take it home and install it. No big deal, right?<br /><br />I once had a heating element flash and fail the night before Thanksgiving. We had a turkey in the refrigerator and family was coming the next day. I managed to slide into the stove parts store just before they closed and got it all fixed in the nick of time. The cat appreciated it. The next day she sat in front of the stove smelling the roasting turkey.Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837732869952166892.post-13178117563716243782011-04-22T15:22:26.613-07:002011-04-22T15:22:26.613-07:00If the sparking was inside the oven itself and not...If the sparking was inside the oven itself and not the controls or the electrical outlet, it's probably the heating element that's going bad on you. They can be replaced and it's usually not expensive. I've done it a couple of times and it's not hard. Just be sure to unplug the oven before doing it.Timnoreply@blogger.com
