A base element heats the oven from below, usually hidden under the floor of the cavity, and it does much of the work in conventional bake and bottom heat modes. With no model list on file for this number, match 4055549457 and the 1000W rating to your old element or the parts list for your oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOven not heating from the bottom?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a base element fails, the oven may still grill and fan bake, but anything relying on bottom heat suffers. Cakes and pastry come out pale and soggy underneath, and the oven takes much longer to reach temperature on conventional bake, or never gets there. Some failures trip the safety switch as soon as bottom heat is selected. Because a concealed base element sits out of sight, a multimeter continuity test across its terminals, with the power isolated, is the surest way to confirm it has failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 4055549457\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOven base element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1000W rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrolux group oven part, no model list on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the base element\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolate the oven at the switchboard and let it cool completely. A hard-wired oven should be worked on by a licensed electrician. Depending on the model, base elements are reached from behind the oven or by lifting the cavity floor. Photograph the terminals before disconnecting them, reconnect the new element the same way, then run the oven on bottom heat to check it warms up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the base element the same as the fan element?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The base element heats from beneath the oven floor, while the fan element is the ring around the fan at the back. 4055549457 is the 1000W base element, so make sure bottom heat is what your oven has lost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44548439539790,"sku":"4055549457","price":121.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/4055549457-genuine-electrolux-oven-base-element-1000w","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
