Should a new element produce a burning smell and glow red when connected
I have just installed this new element from you and on turning on the oven the element glows red and there is a burning smell. Is this normal I.e. Will the burning smell go away after a few minutes and should it be glowing red?

There is often a burning smell on new elements as grease is burnt off the surface, this soon clears. If the element is regularly getting red it suggests there may be a fan motor problem as the air flow should cool it a little and if it overheats it can fail again.
