Got this on monday
Customer has swapped a blown main oven element
Fan is working but no heat?
What else might have been taken out when the element blew?
Re: Neff Oven – enr U1452N3GB/02
My guess would be that he’s fitted it from the front and hasn’t put ALL the cables back onto the element itself .

Take it out and have a look. I went to a Bosch oven where the customer was replacing a fan element (quote “because it’s an easy job”) had managed to catch a wire on the back panel. When he eventually got the element out, ee only saw two wires and replaced the two wires. Live wire was still touching the back panel…. the rest is obvious, big bang, then CU tripped. In this case it blew the t/stat. Some customers really should not be touching anything electrical. !!!

Thanks for replies
it turned out the Rocketman scenario was spot on,
Only difference was the wiring supply to cooker was scarily bad, connected to a 32a fused supply
but the thought of a loose live wire lurking in the back of a metal cabinet with such a mess of an installation! :zap:
