its been a while since i have been selling and fitting genuine only elements part number 494643, supplier says he has had a couple back within the 6 months, just wandered how other people are finding them.
Re: Neff half turn elements
A while ago I had 3 fail in a month, all non gen, then had another one not getting hot enough, when I tested it was reading 250 Ohms, how did that get past quality control, 😯 no problems since.
Re: Neff half turn elements
I won’t fit the non-gen half moon neff element anymore. Every one that I fit failed in under 12 months 👿
It’s genuine or nowt with them!
Re: Neff half turn elements
Yes, I’ve had two non gen ones fail at the same house in the last 4 months; three in the last year.
Re: Neff half turn elements

The genuine Bosch element is not made by EGO though, it’s made by IRCA. 😉
Re: Neff half turn elements
thats interesting because connect were selling these elements as genuine last year packed in plastic bags with a piece of paper inside with genuine part number printed on it, and im pretty damn sure that they come acked in brown paper.
Re: Neff half turn elements
Yes we have had a significant number of pattern elements ( Neff ) fail within a very short time and Connect have supplied them !
We are now sourcing them from elsewhere to see how we go
Re: Neff half turn elements
stopped using non gen because of failure the ones i had from qualtex where formed wrongly and the elements where too close to each other causing a hotspot and early failure

Re: Neff half turn elements
Ever bosch patten element i`ve fitted has failed within 12 months 😯 so I only fit gen ones now. Having said that i`ve had three of those fail under guarentee 😮

Just read this post, thought I should warn you lot about Masterpart half turn pattern elements.
Went to fit one yesterday and it tripped the customers RCD. Have 4 more on the van and they are all dead short to earth -2M ohms. Only 1 month old, so thats the reason they only cost £2.89. masterpart part no: BS14107 beware!Re: Neff half turn elements
yes i fitted one of these a month ago and had to go back to day and re fit with gen.. the masterpart part no: BS14107 are sh…t. 😈 dont fit and dont buy….. 👿
ahhhhh…….. i feel better now…………. 🙂
canufixit….Re: Neff half turn elements
Maddocks stocks these elements – 14-NF-43, as a pattern alternative to the genuine (which is rather steep in price)! We source them ourselves also so they’re not from the same batch as other trade suppliers.
We sell quite a few of them and I’ve not had bad reports back from Customers. Although that’s not to say you’ll never had one that doesn’t work.
May be worth a go if your current source is too expensive / unreliable!
Re: Neff half turn elements
my supplier tests every one before selling, one cure is to bake in oven if resistance is moving towards earth
not convinced baking cures problem but supplier says returns have reduced,
there is a major problem with all elements, how do you first of all know gen from non-gen, as most of the ones you take out only have voltage and wattage on them
why do we accept this crap anyway no country of origin where is the quality control
