The fan on my electric oven (freestanding) is not working. The element is on it's highest setting and cannot be turned off at the switch. Do I need a new element? Please help an enthusiastic DIYer.

Thanks

Okay Annie,

I'm hooked, why would an exhaust fan have an element? Usually that term is used for coils or top burners on an range? Does you fan also burn the heated air as it passes through the fan?

Can you get me a make and model, please.

To the best of your knowledge, can you describe the connection from the island to the fan.

Hi Don

Thanks for getting back to me. Sorry this is not an exhaust fan but the fan in my electric oven. The model of my cooker is cannon. Hope this helps

Don, Annie1234 may be referring to an internal fan in the oven for convetion baking.
