Every once in a while, the heating element seems to break on my Gaggenau EB 378 610 oven. Other than that, it works fine.
This time though, I am unable to find a replacement part since the manufacturer discontinued it. I searched everywhere online and on eBay, but was still unable to find it.
I would rather not buy a new oven since that would be very expensive and I like this one. Does anyone have any ideas about where I can find a replacement heating element? Or am I out of luck?
It's a convection element, part #00098494, 100L
I don't know if you have any where you live, but sometimes you can find local appliance repair shops that might sell parts. Even if they don't have a new element hanging around they may have an old usable one to sell you. I used to work at one and we kept ahold of discontinued parts to use for repairs or sale.
