  • How to change lower element in DeLonghi Airstream Convectio Oven??

  • Preheat ovens only when necessary. With conventional ovens, keep the preheating time to a minimum. Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not need to preheat the oven at all.
  • Food cooks more quickly and efficiently in ovens when air can circulate freely. Don't lay foils on racks. If possible, stagger pans on upper and lower racks to improve air flow.
  • Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25°F and cook foods just as quickly.
  • Do not open the oven door often to preview the food. Each time you open the door the oven temperature drops by 25°F. Watch the clock or use a timer instead.
  • Full-size ovens are not very efficient for cooking small- to medium-sized meals, it generally pays to use toaster ovens or microwave ovens.
  • Check to be sure the oven door gasket is tight. Adjust or replace gaskets as required.
  • If you have a self-cleaning oven, consider using the self-cleaning feature immediately after regular baking when the oven is still hot. Less energy will be required to reach the cleaning temperature. Try not to use the self-cleaning feature too often.
  • Keep range-top burners and reflectors clean; they will reflect the heat better and save energy.
  • Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air. A 6-inch pan on a 8-inch burner will waste over 40% of the energy.
  • On electric stove-tops, use only flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the element. A warped or rounded pan will waste most of the heat.
  • When cooking with a gas range-top burner, use moderate flame settings to conserve gas. Also make sure the pilot light is burning efficiently, with a blue flame. A yellowish flame indicates an adjustment is needed because the gas is burning inefficiently.
  • Whenever possible, use a pressure cooker. By cooking food at a higher temperature and pressure, cooking time is reduced dramatically and energy use is cut by 50-75%.

    SOURCE: Elements in convection oven won't heat

    DO you have a model number for that. I'm almost sure it's a thermal fuse in the back of the oven. Usually they go out during or after cleaning but that would shut down both elements. If you have the model (usually by the inside door look all over and up in the cavity) Then if you go to this link

    http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/index.action?intcmp=xsite_Sears

    It will show you a breakdown of the oven and where it is. If you give me the model I'll show you what I'm talking about. Good luck.

    P.S. if it the fuse it's a cheap fix, little hard to get in back of the oven but cheap!

    SOURCE: fridgiaire Gallery series Model GLEB30T8CBA lower elements dont work

    I replaced the relay board for the top oven (the one with the transformer) and it works properly now. My issue was only for the top oven so you probably have to replace both relay boards since both ovens have only the top element working.

    318022002 is the part number for the relay board with transformer
    318022001 is the part number for the relay board without transformer

    Yes the one without the transformer is more expensive for some reason.

    The boards are on the top of the oven, I was able to pull out the oven about 75% of the way out of the cabinet and easily get to the boards. Just unplugged the connections and plugged them into the new board.

    To get the oven out there are two small screws that go into brackets inside the top oven door. Highly recommend taking the doors off the oven to pull it out, much easier to work with.

    NOTE: On my old board I noticed one solder joint that was burned out and I since I already had the new board I just replaced but you might want to check that first and see if just a solder fix gets you working again before you spend $$ on a new board.

    I have a delonghi oven. The grill element smokes violently as the element heats up. Does it need a replacement grill element?

    no you dont need a new grill its just collecting fats from when you roasting and burning off when you initially heat the grill. if you use the grill more often it wont build up as much. covering the roast can reduce the saturation and perhaps a slightly lower temp will help reduce splattering.

    How do you replace a bad heating element? I purchased a replacement set of elements but the old elements appear to have been welded to the wires and the new ones would need to be welded also? No...

    Hey Bill,
    The few things I know about heating elements is for 1, they can be a pain to replace, if you put them on wrong or have any of the element touching itself, there will be problems.2, It doesnt necessarily need connectors, it just sits on the metal post that stick out, thats what supplies the power to the coil. Hope this helps.
