Rewiring the correct wires for an internal heating element to a Belling Home Oven.

[bellingrepair]

Hello first post

I inherited a secondhand freestanding Belling Oven (make and model below)

BEL FSE 60 MF
Model Number 444449575
Serial number 31222241

Was working fine for just over 1.5 years until I smelt burning plastic. Disconnected the "cooker flip switch" power supply in my home's mainswitch box as a safety precaution. Took out the "wired in" box ( the wall's power box was fine no damage and the wire connecting to the oven to the mains was fine too).

But I noticed the Mains Terminal Block PA4542 had indeed melted ? and damaged the wire at the cooker's end - on the top left pin.

Took the belling apart and inspected all other parts - grills, heating element, motor, other wiring but they appear fine. I made a note of which wires went where.

So my plan was

• Order a new spare part mains terminal block PA4542 for my model considering maybe the family member who wired in the mains terminal block did it incorrectly, hence only the top left section was melted but the cooker's wire were fine.
• Take apart cooker to inspect for other damage (there is none sans the detachable PA4542 terminal block), clean parts for soot or build up
• Make a video or photo of wiring when rettaching it
• Reattach new PA4542 taking extra care of wiring it in using a carefully followed YouTube guide.

My problem
When disconnecting the heating element in the fan assisted oven all the wires fell out of their holes out the back (I have the plan for the top grill though) and I'm not sure which wire (regardless of colour) goes where and considering there are some surplus hanging coloured wires that don't appear to be plugged into anything and are the same colour as the ones that do need plugging in!

I tried googling belling guide but it's general usage and (Long expired) customer care PDFs manuals. I need some rewiring guide.

Please help! Thanks.

Unless any of the guys and gals on here have the same model oven or a manual, we can do no more than you and Google for a wiring diagram, good luck.

I found exactly what I was looking for. (Had to try different search enquiries mutliple times since google and search engines aren't what they used to be).

No guarantee I can fix this myself even with found diagram for my make and model Belling.

If all else fails call in the experts. But with lockdown (at the time of this thread) I'm not sure if it counts as an essential service as no local appliance repair centres are answering their phones.
