Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Confirm oven make and model and identify the correct replacement element

• Isolate and lock off the electrical supply and check circuits are dead using appropriate PPE

• Remove oven panels or pull out built‑in oven to access the heating element

• Remove faulty element and fit a manufacturer‑matched replacement, reconnect earth and terminals

• Reassemble oven, restore power and carry out basic functional tests on relevant heat settings

• Tidy the work area and dispose of the old element; advise if further repairs or parts are needed

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most straightforward oven element replacements take 45 minutes–1.5 hours including testing and tidying; factors that extend time include built‑in ovens requiring removal, corroded fixings, hidden electrical faults or waiting for a specific part

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Do you supply the replacement element and is it covered by a parts warranty

• Are you a qualified electrician or appliance engineer and can you provide ID or certification

• What is included in your call‑out fee and do you charge for testing or reassembly separately

• If the element is not the only fault how will you report additional work and get approval for extra costs

• Do you dispose of the old part and is waste removal included in the price

• What guarantee do you provide on labour and how long does it last

How to Avoid Surprises

• Make the oven model number accessible or send photos before the visit

• Clear surrounding cupboards and ensure space to pull out a built‑in oven if needed

• Confirm parking or loading access and advise of any permit or estate restrictions

• Tell the tradie about pets or vulnerable occupants and arrange a safe workspace

• Check parts lead times for your model and agree whether you or the engineer will order them
