Wave (serpentine) oven heating element Saturn 40 (Efba, Sanal), 300 W 220 V

When the oven only heats from one side and the element no longer glows, the element itself is usually the culprit, and swapping it is a small job: two wires on terminals and the fixing screws. The only hard part is bringing home the right one.

The right one for this listing looks like this: serpentine tube, 400 mm long, 6.5 mm in diameter, stainless steel, heating air. Terminals take 4 mm connectors, one straight and one bent at 90°. Rated 300 W at 220 V; the voltage stamped on the old tube is what separates this item from the neighbouring one of the same size.

The 40 in the name is the length in centimetres, the way Saturn, Efba and Sanal elements are marked. Measure the old one: if it reads 400 mm, the size is right.
