In an oven, the Grill Element is the wire that provides heat to the entirety of your oven while cooking. Your Grill Element could be broken due to a number of reasons, such as a blown fuse or just old age. Statistically, Grill Elements are the most easily broken oven parts due to their brittle nature. 

 
If you find that your grill element is not working, it should be easy to spot as your oven may not heat up at all. Other signs of a broken grill element include uneven cooking, or if you have an infra-red grill, the element not turning red while the oven is on.

My Oven Temperature is Inconsistent?!

 
Is the oven of your gas cooker finding it hard to regulate its cooking temperature? Is it constantly over or under-heating? If you're experiencing any of these issues, then you've got a faulty thermostat. The role of your thermostat is to monitor the temperature of your oven, and shut off the voltage to your igniter once the temperature you have set is reached. This cycle is constantly repeated throughout the time your cooker is in action, to ensure the temperature of your oven is constantly regulated. If your gas oven thermostat is faulty, there's no need to worry, we have a brilliant selection of Replacement Gas Oven Thermostats that will ensure the temperature in your oven is regulated once again.
