Heating Element Replacement: Quick Fixes for a Hot Kitchen
If your oven isn’t heating, your kettle won’t boil, or your dryer is staying cold, the culprit is often a faulty heating element. It’s a small part, but without it your appliance can’t do its job. The good news? Replacing it isn’t a mystery and you don’t have to wait weeks for a solution. Our Rugby team can diagnose the problem, source the right part, and have your appliance back to full heat in a single visit.
How to Spot a Bad Heating Element
First, notice the signs. An oven that takes forever to pre‑heat, a toaster that only crisps one side, or a dryer that runs forever without drying are classic clues. You might also smell a faint burnt odor or hear a buzzing noise before the element quits altogether. When you see these symptoms, turn off the appliance, unplug it, and give it a quick visual check. A broken or darkened coil is an obvious red flag, but sometimes the element looks fine and the fault lies in the wiring or thermostat.
Don’t try to keep guessing. A simple multimeter test can tell you if the element is still conducting electricity. If you’re comfortable with basic tools, you can remove the element, test it, and even swap it with a spare if you have one. Most modern ovens and kettles use replaceable elements that snap or screw in, so the physical job isn’t heavy lifting – it’s the diagnosis that matters.
