How much for an omega element for the oven - Baumatic B187 Stainless Steel Electric Single Oven

If the rear fan elements of your Omega OF901XZ oven are testing fine with a resistance of 27 ohms, but the oven doesn't heat up in fan force mode while it does heat up in other modes, there could be a few potential causes for this issue. One possibility is a faulty thermal fuse or thermostat. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the thermal fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device that cuts off power to the heating elements if the oven overheats. Locate the thermal fuse in your oven and test it for continuity using a multimeter. If the thermal fuse is blown (no continuity), it may need to be replaced.
2. Inspect the thermostat: The thermostat regulates the temperature inside the oven. It's possible that the thermostat controlling the rear fan elements is malfunctioning. Use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity and ensure it is functioning properly. If the thermostat is defective, it may need to be replaced.
3. Examine the wiring: Inspect the wiring connections related to the rear fan elements. Look for loose or damaged wires that could be affecting the heating functionality. Ensure all connections are secure and in good condition.
4. Consult the user manual: Refer to the user manual or technical documentation for your oven model. It may contain specific troubleshooting steps or information about common issues related to the heating elements and fan force mode.

Hey Helen, I have researched your model and found a compatible lower element for your oven. Click this link to buy: spares.bigwarehouse.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=69410_69470_108762&products_id=2304029

Yeah you can. I think you just snap it off I think the whole thing can come out.

Is there a way to change from "Fan Forced Oven" to normal conventional heating oven in an Omega OA25 model?

Hello,Is your element fixed to the back wall by (1)Two Phillips head screws or (2)the ends of the element are about "8" apart and held in with 2 clips.Switch off the power on the main switch board marked RANGE,STOVE OR OVEN.
In case of (1) unscrew and take the element out,pull off the 3 push on connectors,get new element and do it in reverse.
In case of (2) get a small screwdriver,push the clip just above the tube from the element going to the back and the clip should jump out,do the same for the other side,lift up the element a 1/4 and pull it out carefully not to loose the cable as they are very short

Thanks

Sounds like a faulty fan oven element. To replace: Disconnect from power (usually easiest to switch off at fuse box). Remove racks etc from inside oven. Remove rear panel inside oven- four screws. You will now see a heating element that goes around the fan- often you see blow mark on element. You need to remove the back panel of oven to access the nuts that hold element in- two nuts, undo nuts, remove wiring from element. New element available from any good appliance repair shop. Reverse procedure to refit. Happy fixing!!

If it is a common problem with Omega, they may not be ready to admit it. Since it occured 2 times, possibly the hinges use nylon rollers for smooth and quiet operation, but the hinges are not well shielded from the hi heat of 500-600 degrees and the nylon parts fail after a few months constant heat exposure. There is a common problem that happens with oven doors when they do not seam to close tight: besides being old and normally worn, if a door is leaned on while it is open, the hinges could be stretched and then they will never allow the door to close tight. This has happened to many ovens regardless of age, and the customer never realized that the weight or pressure they applied to the door when in the open position has done damage; yet they wunder why the door does not close well. Goodluck,Macgivor

Hello. If your stove is manufactured by Omega Appliances, it appears that they no longer produce it. That said I can speak to your heating element issue. When the food you're baking is done on top but not on the bottom--or when baking just takes far too long to finish--the bake element may be burned out. You may get fooled into thinking it's working, because the oven is hot inside. But many electric ovens use the broil element, too, during the preheat and bake cycles. So the food may be getting heated only by the broil element, which causes poor baking results. If the bake element is burned out, replacing it should solve the problem. Otherwise, you need to further troubleshoot the oven's electrical system to locate the defective wire or component. When the temperature is consistent but too high or too low, it could be one of several different things. First check to see if the thermostat sensing bulb has come loose from its holder. It could be lying on the floor of the oven or resting on the heating element. This would cause the oven to not heat correctly. If the thermostat bulb is not dislodged, it's likely that the thermostat or sensor is either mis-calibrated or defective. Electronic ovens with a digital display use a sensor to monitor oven temperature. To solve temperature problems for these models, you may need to replace the sensor. On some digital-display models, you can calibrate the temperature using the key pad. See your operator's manual for details. Ovens without a digital display often use a mechanical system for controlling temperature. On many of these units, you can remove the thermostat knob and adjust the knob itself to more accurately represent the actual setting of the thermostat. If, when you remove the knob, there's a screw on the back of it with a small calibration plate, you can loosen the screw, adjust the plate, then tighten the screw again. If the knob isn't adjustable, and the oven temperature is off by more than 30 to 40 degrees, you need to replace the thermostat to solve the problem.
