8583871428014 Genuine Oven Lower Heating Element 1000W 230V for Electrolux Group Ovens, Bottom Element, Also 3871428011

This genuine Electrolux lower heating element, part 8583871428014, is rated at 1000W and 230V and is also listed as 3871428011. It heats the oven from underneath, often hidden below the oven floor, and is used in conventional bake modes and for bottom heat. If the oven won't heat in its bake setting, or pastry and pizza bases come out pale, this element is the first part to check.

Oven not heating from the bottom

Lower elements work hard, with spills and moisture landing on or above them. A failed element can break open circuit, so the oven never reaches temperature in bake mode while the fan or grill functions still work. Others break down to earth and trip the safety switch as soon as bottom heat is selected. Because many lower elements sit under the floor panel, they're out of sight, so test it with a multimeter for continuity and insulation resistance instead of relying on looks. Good readings on the oven's other elements help narrow down the fault.

Replacing the lower element

Switch the oven off at the circuit breaker, as it's hard wired, and have a licensed electrician carry out the replacement. In many ovens the element is reached from the back, so the oven has to come out of its cabinet. Label the wires, transfer any insulation or brackets from the old element, and test bake mode before reinstalling the oven.
