| Bake-element Blisterd |
All electric Elements at some point and time stop working, Most of the time it is the Ovens bake element that goes on the blink!
As a rule the electric element normally goes quietly during the night and then the next time when you want to use the stove-oven. it just doesn't heat up or it takes a very long time for the oven to reach bake temperature.
Other times the bake element "goes-out" in a blaze of glory! There is a loud bang, smoke and even flames! Man, this has all the makings of a spark-tacular show and it guarantees to get your heart pumping
The electric oven need 3 components to Function
- Thermostat: The thermostat is like a regulator it controls the temperature inside the oven cabinet. This process happen with the thermostat switching the electricity on and off.
- Wire: Electricity gets Transport from the thermostat to the electric element. Very Important - Because elements draws a lot of amps it is important to use only silicone wire and at least a 2mm thick.
- Elements; This is unit that actually create the heat by using electricity supplied by the thermostat through silicone wire
