Fan Oven Heating Element
Replacement fan oven heating element – compatible with Belling, New World and Stoves as shown unless advised otherwise
Description
Restore even heat distribution and consistent cooking results with this genuine fan oven heating element.
As an original Stoves Spares component, it matches the element fitted at the factory, with the same power rating, dimensions, and terminal layout. The fan oven element, also known as a convection heating element, heats the air that the fan then circulates around the oven cavity. This ensures even heat distribution and consistent cooking results. Manufactured from durable, heat-resistant materials, it is designed to withstand the high temperatures of everyday baking, roasting and grill cycles without distortion.
A faulty fan oven heating element is the most common cause of an oven failing to heat while the fan and lamp continue to work. The internal filament can burn out or short-circuit over time, causing a complete loss of heating or intermittent performance. Common symptoms include the oven not heating at all, the fan running but blowing cold air, longer preheat times, uneven cooking with some areas undercooked and others burnt, visible damage such as cracks or blistering on the element surface, and the oven tripping the mains circuit breaker. Replacing a failed element restores the oven's ability to heat and circulate air correctly, ensuring consistent cooking results.
This fan oven heating element will only fit the models shown or specifically advised and will not fit any others, even if it looks the same; it probably won't, as several look alike but aren't interchangeable. Please take time to ensure this is correct before ordering. If you are unsure, please contact us for assistance.

Common Faults & SymptomsThe following symptoms are commonly reported when this part begins to fail. Use this as a diagnostic guide before ordering a replacement — if more than one of these is present, the part is the likely culprit. 1
Oven Not Heating at All
The most common symptom of a failed fan oven element. The oven powers on and the fan and lamp continue to work, but no heat is produced. This is caused by a complete break in the internal heating filament, which stops current flowing through the element. Before ordering a replacement, test the element for continuity and confirm that the thermostat and oven switch are functioning correctly.
2
Oven Blowing Cold Air
The fan runs and circulates air around the cavity, but the air is cold because the element is not heating. This confirms that the motor and fan are functional, and the fault lies with the heating element itself. In some cases, the element may still draw current intermittently, causing the oven to heat for a short period before blowing cold again.
3
Longer Preheat Times
The oven takes significantly longer than usual to reach the set temperature. This can happen when part of the element has failed, reducing its heating output. The oven may eventually reach temperature, but the extended preheat time is a reliable early warning sign that the element is degrading and will soon fail completely.
4
Uneven Cooking or Hot Spots
Food cooks inconsistently, with some areas undercooked and others burnt. This can happen when the element is not distributing heat evenly, or when a partial failure causes some sections of the element to heat while others remain cold. A damaged element may also cause hot spots on the oven shelf directly above it.
5
Element Visibly Damaged
A visual inspection will often reveal the problem. Look for cracks, blistering, or blackened patches on the metal sheath, or sections where the element has visibly sagged or distorted. A sagging element may come into contact with the oven liner or the fan blade, causing a short circuit or mechanical damage. Any of these signs indicate that the element should be replaced.
6
Oven Trips the Mains Circuit Breaker
A short circuit between the heating filament and the metal sheath will cause the RCD to trip or the fuse to blow as soon as the oven is switched on. This is a serious safety issue and the appliance should not be used until the element is replaced. Do not keep resetting the RCD, as repeated shorting can damage the control circuit. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and treat the element as failed.
7
Element Glows Unevenly or Only Partially
When the oven is switched on, only part of the element glows, or the glow is uneven across its length. This is a clear sign that the internal filament has developed a partial fracture. The element will eventually fail completely, and in the meantime, the oven will not cook evenly. Replacement is the reliable solution.
8
Oven Cuts Out Mid-Cycle
The oven heats correctly for a period, then cuts out before the cooking time has elapsed. It may restart after cooling or remain off entirely. This intermittent behaviour can be caused by a failing element that is drawing excessive current or by thermal protection triggering due to a partial short. If the element is hot to the touch or the thermal cut-out has tripped, the element should be replaced.
9
Element Blows Again Shortly After Replacement
If a newly fitted element fails again within a short period, the cause may be a faulty oven fan, a build-up of grease and food residue on the element surface, or incorrect installation causing the element to touch the oven liner. Check that the fan is spinning freely and that the oven is clean before fitting another element. A fan that is not distributing heat correctly can cause the element to overheat.
10
Error Code E115 (Belling) — Door Lock Fault
Belling ovens may display E115 when there is a problem with the door locking mechanism, often detected during pyrolytic cleaning cycles. While this code typically points to the door lock itself, an element that has failed and caused a power surge can sometimes trigger related fault codes. Check the door lock and the element before assuming either component has failed.
Fitment GuidanceThis fan oven heating element is compatible only with the Belling, New World and Stoves oven and cooker models listed in the compatibility matrix above. New World and Stoves models are shown as TBC. Even if an element looks visually similar, the sheath length, terminal spacing and mounting bracket arrangement can differ between models, so a part that appears to fit may not sit correctly or may overload the circuit.
Diagnostic TipsBefore concluding that the element has failed, carry out these checks to rule out other causes. A multimeter is required for the electrical tests.
Installation GuideThese steps describe the general procedure for replacing a fan oven heating element. The exact sequence varies between models, so always consult the appliance manual where available.

Fan Oven
Heating Elements
Fan oven heating elements are the most common cause of an oven failing to heat while the fan and lamp continue to work. They are usually open circuit and require replacement. Most can be replaced from the front of the oven, but a few models need removal from their housing.
The fan oven element (also known as a convection heating element) is the component responsible for heating the air that is then circulated around the oven cavity by the fan. This ensures even heat distribution and consistent cooking results. Over time, the internal filament within the element can burn out or short circuit, leading to a complete loss of heating or intermittent performance.
Signs You Need to Replace Your Fan Oven Element
A faulty fan oven heating element can manifest in several ways. If you're experiencing any of the following issues, this ELE9778 replacement element may be the solution:
-
Oven not heating at all — The most common symptom; the element has likely burned out
-
Oven blowing cold air — The fan runs but no heat is generated
-
Longer preheat times — The oven takes significantly longer than usual to reach temperature
-
Uneven cooking — Food is cooking inconsistently, with some areas undercooked and others burnt
-
Element visibly damaged — Cracks, blistering, or breakage visible on the element surface
-
Oven trips the mains — A shorted element can cause the circuit breaker to trip
Quality & Compatibility
Beware of cheap fan elements sold on auction sites and other sources—they are often poorly made with earthing failures and inferior insulation. We focus on superior quality alternatives, original or better, and avoid selling low-quality components.
Minor changes between element batches may occur, such as removal of the earth tag or differences in mounting. Both are usually easy to accommodate with a little ingenuity.
- Removal of the earth tag—element still safely earthed to chassis
- Changes in mounting method—usually accommodated with screws or bolts
Most elements are easy to fit, and we link genuine heating elements to compatible alternatives that we and technicians would recommend. Cheap and poor-quality elements are not sold.
Care & Maintenance
To maximise the lifespan of your new fan oven heating element:
-
Keep the oven clean — built-up grease and food residue can cause hotspots and premature element failure
-
Don't use abrasive cleaners on the element surface
-
Check the element periodically for signs of damage or wear
-
Ensure the oven fan is working — the element relies on the fan to distribute heat evenly; a faulty fan can cause the element to overheat
