Surely its better/safer to trace and connect the two bulb wires to the connectors in the lower part of the head rather than having an exposed ceramic block in a place that gets very hot. I don't think i've ever seen such a awful repair suggestion and would not recommend it!
Yes you are right, if you are willing to spent your time and effort. But I did not go into the trouble of opening the whole assembly. I just wanted an easy fix. With the ceramic connector I have changed the bulb twice since, in no time at all as these bulbs are likely to fail because of oil splashes. I still use the airfryer with no problem.
Interesting! This would make changing the bulb much easier. As someone else said, putting the connector the other side of the fan plate might be better. Great fix though.
I have put the ceramic block behind the fan plate by taking out one of the silver screws that holds the next plate (black) in place and adjacent to where the cables come through. The screw will go through the centre hole of the ceramic block and is long enough to secure the block in place and away from the fan, just tuck the wires out of the way and put it all back together. A bit fiddly but worth it 😁
Thank you so much...you made me very happy😀😀😀 as I have the exact unit...watching you gave me an inspiration to do it myself...I won't cut the wire to short haha...I only have a plastic connector no good I suppose or is it? I hope this vid will help many of us to fix these ovens....fixing it does not take ages as we were made to believe ...great job👍👍😘😘
Hi Sofia I'm glad my video has helped to inspire you to fix your oven. The bulb is so cheap that it's definitely worth to fix the oven. Please don't use the plastic connector as it will melt with heat. Please use the ceramic connector that came with the halogen bulb. My oven lasted only for 4 months. Because I use to grill whole chicken or duck in it. The fat from the meat would zizzle and splash oil on the bulb which in turn shortened the ceramic bulb's life. After replacing the bulb I still cook whole birds but I now cover the top part of the bird with a round foil and fix it with toothpicks to protect the ceramic bulb.

Brinoys Itchy feet thank you for replying promptly....I'm afraid I did not order one with the ceramic connector only with the clips...I'm going to town now and perhaps I can get one in B&Q or BM...also I will wait for my hubby to fix it....I absolutely love these ovens and went through few of them in recent years so I have 3 to repair...your video is the most helpful nice and simple...I damaged my due to using bicarbonate of soda to clean the burnt metal plate I couldn't clean the light propely of the bicarb....I know silly me ....I will also use your tip of covering and using toothpicks ...great advice 👍👍👍
I tried replacing the bulb, a 1300w with a 1200w-1400w bulb, but the temp only reaches 250F. Not sure if this would be an issue. I bought the bulb on ali-express, and it does say that power on the bulb, but I'm doubting it. All I did was cut the 2 wires at the bulb, removed, and installed, wired the new one in. Was there more I should have done? Thanks.
Hi this is what I used. Universal Halogen Oven Cooker Heating Element Bulb with 3X Clips & Ceramic Connector (1200/1400w)-22CM LEADS-S4U® amzn.eu/d/0eXZzJc
Would have been better to put the ceramic connector on the other side of the plate so it is not exposed to so much heat. The first fan is removed by turning the screw clockwise as it is a reverse thread. Can also see ua-cam.com/video/5LZRFx9ubAQ/v-deo.html though has limitations showing the wiring
Thanks just ordered the ceramic connector and new bulb. My brand new tower cooker only used 5 times the bulb just flickered and gave out. Can't be bothered to go through the warranty as a hassle sending stuff back. Great thing about this fix is now if the bulb goes again it's easier to replace with the connector in place. Can't believe they don't come with connectors as this is a replaceable part. Cheers for the video hopefully back cooking again soon. Edit to add In preparation for delivery of the bulb I have just taken out the dead one cutting the wires not too short and I cut off the outer insulation off the dead bulb wires and slipped that over the wires that go into the unit to give those more heat resistance because they didn't have that second layer of outer insulation on them. Now the wires will be insulated both sides of the ceramic connector block.
Hi, it's not necessary. If you can access the terminal in the whole assembly, you can attach the wire directly. I find it complicated to trace the terminals and opted for the ceramic block connector instead. These halogen bulbs are prone to fail from the oil splashes when cooking and will need changing again. With the ceramic block connector, I can replace the halogen bulb in no time. The ceramic block connectors are designed for these high temperatures and will not melt. I still use the airfryer a lot. Hope it helps.
The first one lasted for about 1 1/2 years, only because I was roasting whole chicken. The fat would splash on the bulb, shortening its life span. The second replacement is still working for nearly 3 years now after I cover when cooking large portion of meat or chicken with a round foil to protect the bulb from oil splash and partially opening the lid after cooking to prevent condensation build up in the cooker
I've found it best while your are on with the bulb that top fan and the plate below quickly attract rust it should be stainless steel and the fan, they rust that quick due to the nature of how it works so take it all apart for a good clean and score the service to take something like BBQ spray paint and clean up all screws before replacing you will thank me next time the bulb goes Oh and it's a left-hand thread on the little nut that holds the fan on before you chew it up like I did first time trying to get it off thinking the little nut was seized on with heat and wasn't
Just changed my halogen oven bulb using your video- thanks! Just one question, I have quite a bit of excess wire from the bulb- where does this go? Is it safe? Thanks
Hi the wire from the bulb is insulated that can with stand hi temperature. I can mine to length for tidy finish. When cutting the ensure that the outer heat insulation still covers the wire. Or if you don't want to cut you can push the wire inside the round splash guard..
Hi I bought mine for about 8£ from Amazon Universal Halogen Oven Cooker Heating Element Bulb with 3X Clips & Ceramic Connector (1200/1400w)-22CM LEADS-S4U® www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DQSQ384/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apap_xojqv8TOOG9dc
...I just got a Galloping Gourmet Cuisine Express 707 unit, like 12 Qt unit. Found it at a thrift store in Tyler Texas, for $7 US. I've never used one, because they were always too expensive. So I couldn't pass up the opportunity 👍 I cooked a 7 lb chicken in it, it was fantastic 😋 My unit, uses a induction heater element, I thought all these air ovens used halogen bulbs. Apparently the older units, the first generation air convection cookers, used an induction element. I think my unit is over 10 years old, but it looks like it was hardly used. 🤔 I'm happy with mine 👍 But I like the way Halogen units light up the cooking area. I might have to add led's or SMD's lights to mine above the glass top,, to simulate the halogen lights 😂
Just did this. Took longer to get the screws off as they got stuck. Next time it will probably only take 5 minutes to change as the connection block is already in place. I reused the clips that were on the cooker but kept the new ones just in case. I bought both the bulb and connector on amazon for less than £10.
I've changed the bulb twice now. I've noticed that after roasting the oven developes moisture if I leave the cover on when the meat cools down. Shortening the life of the bulb. I ensure that the lid is slightly open to prevent moisture. I also place foil on top of the meat if it's too close to the bulb to shield it from splashes.
Nice video am thinkng if you have a cermaic connector no soldering required easy change nxt time no ceramic connector , you have to solder .? Have blown bulb just had 2 replacement land from china 3 wks not bad €8.50 x 2 pc free ship
Pls can you elaborate more on Ceramic nuts. What kind exactly can I get? I tried using the ceramic connector but, I can’t close mine. I don’t know if there is an exact ceramic nut to get to make sure it can withstand High temperature of an air fryer. Input would be appreciated
Surely its better/safer to trace and connect the two bulb wires to the connectors in the lower part of the head rather than having an exposed ceramic block in a place that gets very hot. I don't think i've ever seen such a awful repair suggestion and would not recommend it!
This is what I was thinking, surely the heat will eventually melt the connector but I’m not an electrician 😅

Hi ceramic connector blocks does not melt and can withstand high temperature. They're designed to protect the wires.
Interesting! This would make changing the bulb much easier. As someone else said, putting the connector the other side of the fan plate might be better. Great fix though.
Fidly jobs on wobbling item simplified by using an upside down lap tray - one with beads - and this stabilises the thing so 2 free hands.
I have put the ceramic block behind the fan plate by taking out one of the silver screws that holds the next plate (black) in place and adjacent to where the cables come through. The screw will go through the centre hole of the ceramic block and is long enough to secure the block in place and away from the fan, just tuck the wires out of the way and put it all back together.

Button won't stay pressed in.Airfryer is ticking but not heating up
Does the 2 wires go in the ceramic block
Yes it does. There's a screw in the block to secure it in place
What type of ceramic connector do I get? 25A or 30A or it doesn't make a difference? I am not used to this things, so I don't know what it means

Is that white blocky connector neccessary ? The long-term heating/usage could easily compromise & melt it ?

DId exactly and it worked. Make sure yall look at the measurement of the wire before u start cutting thanks Briyona i'm clicking like now.

Better to cut the wire as it can get caught in the fan.

Thanks for posting will be shortly replace my halogen bulb once I get screws loose.

Thanks. No need to solder if using ceramic connectors. They're fixed by two screws.
Pls where can I fix mine in Nigeria
Quiero saber donde se encuentra resistencia para horno olla multifuncional
Do I need that little white box to fused the wires together 😮I don’t have one
Hi, the little white box is heat-resistant ceramic for ease of connection. If you don't have it, you can connect the wire directly
@@conrad1026 ok got it thanks 🙏🏽
You can use ceramic wire nuts as well. Wonder if one can modify one of these with 3 or 4 cheap 500w halogen work light lamps?
Pls can you elaborate more on Ceramic nuts. What kind exactly can I get?
I tried using the ceramic connector but, I can’t close mine. I don’t know if there is an exact ceramic nut to get to make sure it can withstand High temperature of an air fryer. Input would be appreciated
Very good. Thanks
thank you Conrado Evangelista for making this video
Thank you. 😊
Shirt video. Your hands are in the way
Thanks for going to the effort of adding this video.
You're welcome. Always happy to be of help.
Great idea to use ceramic connector- but terrible vid as cant see anything for arms or out of cam sight. Heat for the idea.
Found it very dufficult to see what you were doing. I didnt even realise that bulb could be replaced. Threw out my last oven becausr of that.
What wattage block should I use: 32A? or 57A?
pause the video and screenshot them that's what i did with my solution mentality.
Perfect. Thank you.
I'm glad it has helped you.
