Hi there
I'm changing the element on a caple C2234 fan oven and stupidly forgot to take a photo of the element wires before disconnecting.
If I was to incorrectly reconnect the new element with live and neutral the wrong way around, what would happen?
Thanks a lot for your help!

How many wires are going to the element, if only 2 then it will not make any difference.
 
Thanks for replying, one live, one neutral and an earth
 
Earth must be connected to the outer metal casing of the element. It's usually the centre connection.
L&N can be either way, doesn't matter.

It works perfectly after following your advice. Thank you so much!
