Hello,
I have a Smeg dual fuel 90cm cooker. I have two issues with it.
The main one is that the ventilated heating element appears to have stopped working. I have tested the other cooking modes; lower heating element and ventilation, grill element and ventilation, grill element, upper and lower heating element. These all appear fine, however the ventilated heating element on its own produces no heat, the fan works fine. I understand that the process to swap it over is not too bad, ie take out the old put in the new 🙂 . I also read on another post that you may need to get at it from the rear 😥 has anyone done this with the type of cooker I have or is it standard practice to have to get at it from the rear? Also does anyone have the part number as I tried the online store but its not easy to know what element goes with what.
The second one which is not really important is that the audible alarm has reduced in volume and I have no idea why 🙁 as you can guess this is not the end of the world and with a cooler not functioning properly its even less important 😉 but it would be nice to be able to hear the thing. Any ideas as to what I can to to check it out? Anyone else had this problem. FYI this happened a long time before the heating element going.
Well if you are still awake thanks for any help/thoughts you can give me.
Thanks
Gareth

Hiya,
The element should be easy enough to get for you, I don’t think that one’s in the shop, but Dave should be able to clarify that easily enough either today or tomorrow. I don’t have the info here to tell you how that one is accessed but most of the Smeg machine are accessed from the front to replace an element.
The buzzer is a part of the clock, if it works my advice is to leave well enough alone as sorting that would mean replacing the timer unit and you really don’t want to go there unless you absolutely have to as they ain’t cheap at all. 😉

Hello,
wow thanks for the speedy reply. I am hearing what you say about the buzzer and so will happily steer clear 🙂
You mention that Dave may be able to get the part number for me, will Dave call me or post the part number for the order online? I am keen to order today and fix ASAP.
Thanks very much for the help.
Really appreciated.
Gareth
Re: SMEG SUK92MFX5 heating element stopped working Dual Fuel
Sorry Gareth, been away to a meeting.
The fan element is part number 806890397 at £28.83 inc which I can get from Smeg for you (5-7 days) or a faster supplier (3-5 days) at £42.68 😯
An email to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk please if required, copy/pasting this post if you don’t mind 😀
Dave.

Gareth,
The element in my SMEG 80cm range cooker went. SMEG wanted just under £150 for one of their approved service engineers to come and fit a new one. I got a local engineer, who fitted a compatiable element and total cost came to about £90. Access to fit it was from the back and not too difficult (I watched him do it) took about 15 mins, so I will do it myself next time. Wish you luck

Hello,
Well a big thanks to this site for supplying the element for a great price and quickly.
The great news is that I received the element and it is now replaced and working fine.
The procedure was very straight forward.
At the back of the oven there are two bolts that can be unscrewed by hand/pliers or large screw driver (whatever it takes 🙂 )
Then slide out the metal piece covering the back panel. It will come out very easily. You will then see the element. It is screwed in with three screws (standard sized) undo these and it will then allow the element to move slightly, don’t pull it hard, it’s attached to the wires with blade connectors. These come through a small slot in the back. Mine was connected as follows.
LEFT
|—Orange & white on the left most connector
|—
|
|—Green & yellow on the middle connector
|
|—Solid blue on the right side of the middle
|—Blue & white on the very right hand side
RIGHTRemove the connectors carefully checking if they match what I describe, if not note them down to be safe, don’t want any surprises 😮
Then just attach the new one and then reassemble by doing the above steps in reverse.
By the way some how the alarm has come back to full volume 😀 no idea how but just loving it!!
This was a very simple job; it was done from the front and does not require any special skills. In my view these instructions should be included with the element. Anyone can do it.
Enjoy

Well done.
Needless to say, the above procedure should be carried out with the power off. :plug:

Lots of timers now coming with three volume levels. Some manufacturers are not including this in the instruction books. Do not know if this works on this model but it is normally adjusted by pressing the – button. Play around with it to find out how yours adjusts as it will happen again when the clock area is cleaned. 😀
Re: SMEG SUK92MFX5 heating element stopped working Dual Fuel
Well Mr Flyman you are absolutely spot on. But you knew that right 😉
The timer had gone quiet on us again and so I figured I would investigate this time. I found as you said it has three levels. The way to change the sound level was simply to press the minus button until the level I wanted was heard. Simple and effective!!
Thanks for the tip!!Re: SMEG SUK92MFX5 heating element stopped working Dual Fuel
Hello
I really hope somebody is watching this forum and has the answer to my question 😕So this topic started a long time ago, when I originally had an issue with the heating element on my Smeg cooker, since then its gone a few times and I can cope with this, we cook a lot and changing the element was okay. However it went again yesterday and so I brought out one of the spare elements that I had bought ready for such an event as I knew it would happen again soon enough. I have tried to fit this new element and noticed that it is ‘missing’ a spade connector. This is not damage or anything, I understand it’s just how they sell them now. I emailed the sales team and they helpfully replied with the following.
“You just need to fit the element and not connect the earth connector (central terminal), the lead needs to be secured safely in to the wiring loom so that it does not touch any other connectors etc.This is a standard on many fan elements now as it is automatically earthed when attached to the oven chassis.”
The problem that I have is that the three connectors are as follows one on the left side of the element, one central one that is on the flat metal that is probably ground and then another on the other side of the element.
The old element has two spade connectors on each end of the element and the central one on the flat metal.I have also just noticed that it does not have the screw holes I need either. The old one had screw holes at the sides and this one has bolts as part of the item. It looks like the element I have would need to be fixed from behind and not the front as mine currently is. I feel that this may be the wrong element after all.
The information I have about the part are (information from the packaging):
Home Spare
Suitable for : Smeg
part number: 9855
Fan oven element (2200W)The part on my order was 806890397
please help 🙁
