Ariston oven not heating from the bottom? Check the lower element

The lower element provides heat from below, either on its own for base cooking or together with the upper element for conventional baking. When it fails, the oven may still heat on fan or grill functions, which can make the fault easy to miss. Typical signs are cakes and pastry with pale, soggy bottoms, an oven that takes far longer to reach temperature on conventional settings, or a safety switch tripping when that function is selected. With the power isolated, a multimeter continuity test across the terminals will confirm an open circuit.

Replacing the lower element safely

Switch the oven off at the isolator or circuit breaker and let it cool before starting. Access is usually from the back of the oven, so it may need to come out of the cabinet. Photograph the wiring before removing the terminals, and fit the new element with the same connections. Ovens that are hard-wired should be worked on by a licensed electrician.
