Perth's most common oven repair
Oven Element Replacement Perth — Repair From $179
Element not working? Andrew checks the whole heating circuit first — sometimes it's just a loose connection (repair from $179), sometimes the coil has burnt through and needs a new element ($270–$320 depending on type). Either way he quotes before he starts, and every element is backed by a 12-month parts warranty. Licensed EC9715.
Oven heating element not working? Here's what's happening
When your oven heating element stops working, the symptoms are usually obvious: the oven won't reach temperature, food cooks unevenly, or one part of the oven stays stone cold. A heating element is a metal coil that glows red as electricity passes through it, and over years of heat cycling it eventually cracks, blisters or burns through. But not every “dead element” needs a brand-new part — sometimes it's just a loose connection or a part that's worked free and needs reseating.
Andrew checks the element properly before quoting. Oven element repair starts from $179 — often it's a loose terminal, a corroded connector or a part needing reseating, not a new element at all. Where the coil itself has genuinely burnt through, a full element replacement is $270–$320 depending on the make and model. Either way he tests the circuit first rather than just swapping parts, and matches the correct part to your oven so the repair fits and performs like the original.
Signs your element has failed
Any of these? It's almost certainly the element — Andrew will confirm which issue you have.
Oven element types Andrew replaces
Bake element (bottom element)
The lower element that does most of your baking and roasting. If the bottom of the oven stays cold or food won't brown underneath, the bake element has usually failed.
Grill / top element
The upper element used for grilling and browning — often called the top element. If your oven's top element isn't glowing or the grill won't heat, this is the one. Andrew carries top elements for most common ovens, so oven top element replacement is usually a same-day job.
Fan-forced element
The ring element behind the back panel that wraps the fan. Fan-forced (fan oven) elements are the most common failure — if the fan runs but the oven never gets hot, this is usually why.
Dual element (top + bottom)
Some ovens run a combined top-and-bottom element on the one circuit. Andrew replaces these as a single unit and tests both halves before he leaves.
Stove & cooktop elements
Andrew also replaces electric stove and cooktop elements — coil hotplates, solid plates and radiant elements under ceramic tops. If a stove element or hotplate has stopped heating, see our cooktop repair and stove repair pages, or just send a photo for a quote.
Oven element replacement by brand
Andrew stocks and replaces elements for most Australian and European electric ovens, including Westinghouse, Chef, Electrolux, Simpson, Omega, Blanco, Fisher & Paykel, Smeg, Euromaid, Technika and Kleenmaid.
The ones we get asked about most:
- Simpson oven element replacement — Simpson bake, grill and fan-forced elements are common and usually in stock, so a Simpson element swap is often a same-day job.
- Omega oven element — Omega fan-forced and grill elements are a frequent fix; Andrew carries the common Omega elements or sources them fast.
- Westinghouse & Chef — the most common ovens in Perth kitchens; their elements ride in the van for same-day replacement where possible.
Not sure of your brand or model? Send a photo of the element or the oven's data plate and Andrew will confirm the exact part and price before he comes out.
Repair or full replacement — what it costs
Two different jobs, two different prices. Andrew confirms which one you actually need before quoting.
| Element type | Average Costs |
|---|---|
| Element repair (loose connection / reseating) | From $179 |
| Bake element replacement | $270 – $320 |
| Grill element replacement | $250 – $299 |
| Fan-forced element replacement | $250 – $299 |
Repair (from $179) = circuit fault — loose terminal, corroded connector, reseating a part. Full replacement = coil physically burnt through. Andrew confirms which applies before quoting.
Fixing an oven element vs replacing it
People often search for “fixing oven element” hoping the coil can be patched. When the coil has burned right through, replacing the element is the safe, lasting fix — that's the $270–$320 full replacement. But plenty of “dead element” call-outs turn out to be the circuit around the element, not the coil: corroded terminals, melted connectors, damaged element clips and the wiring behind the rear panel. That's the from-$179 repair — making the whole heating circuit sound again without the cost of a new element. Andrew works out which one you actually need before quoting.
As a licensed electrician (EC9715), Andrew handles the live wiring behind your oven safely — something worth leaving to a professional rather than attempting a DIY element swap.
