    This has to be the worse fan element change I have ever undertook.
    Smeg mw/combi oven. Nightmare!

    collection of parts removed in order to get to fan element!

    fan element £117 + vat by the way.

    What model was that Mark as it looks suspiciously like a Bosch thing I looked up today?

    Sorry, it was a Neff ( 😉 ) B6784NOGB/01.

    Just looks the same sort of deal.

    Its, I think Teka made, quite old now and yes twin mags with accompanying transformers, caps and diodes. Itching now from the insulation having to be peeled back. Thankfully this was a chargeable job, would not fancy doing that for a Smeg warranty rate. It was a model FM38X2

    No Ken, that one is normal Bosch with Panasonic microwave bits. Pretty sure that one doesn’t even have a fan element.

    Not the same machine but equally as nasty by the look of it.

    Why they persist with these things I’ll never know, I can’t even see the point of them and goddam awful to work on.

    True but can be good earners for us as the replacements are still a lot of money and a difficult hole to fill in ones kitchen.

    Guess so long as you charge accordingly it’s all good. 😉
