How easy is it to fit/fix the element on my Indesit fan oven?

The fan & oven light on my oven works fine but no heat is being generated and I'm guessing it's due to the element.Any suggestions?

The element has to be accessed by removing the 4 screws holding the fan cover at the rear of the oven which can be seen with the door open. As mentioned the oven will have to be completely removed and the back panel taken off (4 silver screws) to access the 2 screws holding the element to the inside of the oven. Quite an easy opperation.

It seems this is a fault with this type of Oven. Mine has blown three times since I've had it. I don't have insurance on it now and have to try and do mine myself as well. This will be my first time of trying to repair it as well.

We have only had the cooker for under 5 years.

Hello
It is pretty simple to replace the element.
You will need to access the rear of the cooker.
The element is held by 2 nut/bolt arrangements.
There will be 3 push-on electrical connectors.
Please remember to ISOLATE the cooker prior to working on it.
