Zanussi built in double oven and grill ZDQ 595 outer grill not working

km79

The outer portion of the double grill in top oven no longer heats
Is it a simple enough fix ? I replaced the element in the bottom over last year as the oven was no longer heating
So if it's similar I'll be able to do it

replacement is the same procedure as the oven element, make sure you isolate it

I think I may have named the wrong part actually
I replaced the thermostat in the bottom oven last year not the grill element
(The bottom oven was not heating the grill was fine )

remove the fixing screw and pull the element gently towards you, remove the leads and dont allow them to fall back in otherwise you will have to remove the back off the cooker to refit the when you fit the new element

There doesn't appear to be screws
2 round things but not screws

oven out, remove back and it is held in place with 2 seven mil nuts

So the oven will need to come out so ?
If it does I'll just work away with the single grill until the whole lot goes

The picture shows where the outer element split on the bend.

Oh yes I see that now
Is it dangerous to keep using it so
Been gone for best part of a year i think but we have George foreman so rarely use it
