Has the grill stopped working? The food isn't browning on top? These are the classic signs of a burnt top heating element. A top heating element is usually burnt at the soldering point or the end of the wire, and sometimes a burnt spot is visible on the component.

A moment before ordering – safety above all! To ensure a successful repair and maintain the longevity of your oven, it is essential to use only genuine parts. Non-genuine parts may cause damage. Now click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page and our system will immediately confirm that the part is suitable for you.

Why doesn't the oven heat from above?

A burnt out top heating element is the most common cause. The element is located at the top of the oven cavity and is responsible for top heat and grilling. Over time, the internal wire wears out and burns out, opening the electrical circuit. The result: the grill stops working, and the top browning disappears.

Most often, the fault appears suddenly. The body works one day, and the next day it does not heat up at all. In many cases, a short electric arc or a burnt bolt is noticed at the moment of failure. The 2400W power requires a precise part that can withstand the load.

Why an original part?

The original Sauter heating element is designed to withstand the 2400W power and 230V voltage of the oven. It is physically adapted to the mounting location and the original electrical connections. A non-original part may produce incorrect power, burn out quickly, or overload the electrical system.

Where can I find the model number? The oven identification sticker (E-Nr) is usually located on the door frame or on the back of the appliance. Please compare it before ordering.

💡 Tip from the experts

💡 Expert tip: From our technicians' experience, the upper heating element burns out much more than the lower one, because it is also used for grilling at high heat. Daniel recommends: Before ordering, check with a multimeter if the circuit is open - this way you can make sure that the element is indeed burned out and not a switch or thermostat problem. A one-minute check saves you from having to return an unnecessary part.
