Re: Fan oven doesn’t heat, but element is OK
Ok, checked the first and orginal element for continuity and it’s fine. Next step is to get the oven out and check for obvious wiring faults.
Re: Fan oven doesn’t heat, but element is OK
i hate to say this….but i will…POWER OFF…get oven out.. get back off…
get oven in a stable position…BE CAREFULL NOW..power on,oven on, is fan working? then put meter across the element terminals. 240v = element fault. no volts supply fault. ONLY DO THIS TEST IF YOU ARE COMPETENT AND VERY AWARE OF THE DANGER OF DEATH… IT IS A LAST RESORT SO YOU CAN ELININATE THE ELEMENT AS THE FAULTY PART OR NOT!!!!!IF YOU DON’T FEEL THAT THE RISK IS WORTH IT..DON’T DO IT CALL A PROFFESSIONAL
i told you i didn’t want to say this…SORRY MODERATORS 😳
richardDO NOT LIVE TEST – – EVER!
It is highly dangerous, highly inadvisable and can lead to a serious risk of death. It is also illegal for a business to do this under H&S legislation Richard.
DO NOT DO IT!
UK Whitegoods, as well as myself personally, does not and will not condone live testing.
If you’re at that stage, get in a pro.
K.
yup, has said live testing is beyond insanity
we cant condone it, and we cannot and will not be held responsible for any injury caused..
unplug it, if u really know how to use a meter, youll find it, its simple really
leave the plug out!!!
Re: Fan oven doesn’t heat, but element is OK
Many thanks for all your advice. I have no intention of testing live equipment – heard too many horror stories. I will look for obvious faults, loose wires, scorch marks and so on. If nothing presents, I have a friend who is a professional electrician, who will probably look at it for a suitable liquid bribe (after the event, of course).
