SCREWSET Generic Oven Element Screw Set, 2 Bolts, 2 Washers and 2 Nuts, Universal Oven Part for Element Replacement

SCREWSET is a small generic hardware set for oven element jobs, made up of two bolts, two washers and two nuts. Fixings on an old element are often rusted, seized or snapped off by the time the element needs changing, and they are easily dropped behind the oven. Having a fresh set on hand means the new element can be fixed in place properly the first time.

Why replace the fixings when changing an oven element

Oven elements are held in place with small fixings that go through thousands of heat cycles. Over the years they rust, scale over and bind to their threads, so they often round off, shear or seize when you try to undo them. Reusing a damaged nut or bolt can leave the element loose, rattling against the fan cover or sitting out of position, and a poorly secured element can shift as the oven heats and cools. A new set of bolts, washers and nuts gives a clean thread and a firm hold. Check the size against the old fixings before fitting.

Using the screw set

Element replacement on a hard-wired oven should be done by a licensed electrician, with the oven isolated at the switchboard first. Compare these bolts with the old ones for length and thread before fitting. Put a washer under each nut and tighten them firmly and evenly so the element sits square, without overtightening into thin metal panels.

Questions about this part

Will these fit my oven element?

This is a generic set and our records don't list the thread size or length, so compare the bolts with your old fixings before use. If they don't match, keep the old ones and ask us through the parts enquiry form about other options.
