Good morning, not footy related, but asking those in the know about these things for a but of advice...
The other day the old element in the above built in oven died in an unspectacular orange fireball!
Unfortunately the whole unit had to come out so I could get the old element out. I've ordered a replacement element which on the whole looks the same as the old one (but has an extra coil) but the fixings all appear to be in the same place... Except,
1, the little prongs/connectors at the rear of the old one was a singular thing, but the new one has a 2 pronged attachment - albeit the 2 prongs are each the same size as the old one (I hope the pics make more sense!) - will I need new connectors attaching to my cooker or just be able to slide it onto one of the 2 prongs?
2, the connecting nut & bolt has seized into the old unit - will I need special ones for a cooker or will any old nut do?!
Many thanks in advance, I'm trying to avoid calling out a cooker engineer as my new daughter is wiping me out financially!
