Joyous Beko oven element fault

[timhoward]

I got called out to this today. I was told the main oven fan was working but not the element.
Now normally, we don't get to look at the back, unless it's the fan or thermostat.
But on this cheap piece of Beko $hite for some wonderful reason the element screws in from the back, and this is the lovely sight that I beheld: (It was me that unplugged the top element connecter).
The element was open circuit and had visible damage. The N wire is common to both over elements and the fan.

Could the faulty element cause the entirety of the thermal damage shown?
The occupant had also been flash frying food for years, my overshoes stayed behind when I tried to leave the space behind it!
So that is another factor, a coating of fat being heated up.

Thoughts welcome as I'm not convinced I want to change the element and put it back into service. Or am I over thinking it?

walk away from that crap.

Cheers. If I never see one again that will do me just fine. Horrible things.

Things like that, quote to replace oven and be done with it.

The cost of the time and materials to fix that would be better spent on a new oven as I doubt any repair would last

Yep uneconomical to repair, scrap value only now.

Thanks all, I was 95% sure...
The first unscheduled call out of 2022 was to look at that thing in it's glorious environment and I appreciate the sanity check as I wondered if I was just being over-grumpy!
The client has ordered a new cooker and a steam cleaner.
