Nardi FE0614 oven problems

[craigw]

Hi there – I have a 2 year old Nardi Fe0614 electric oven which has just started not working. The fan works but no heat is coming out of the oven – however the grill is still working. Any suggestions and is it straightforward to fix for a keen DIYer.
Your help would be greatly appreciated ! 😥

The fan element has almost certainly failed which can be found HERE

Power off before attempting repairs :zap:, it’ not too bad to do, you’ll find plenty of posts regarding fan element replacements here in the forums 😉

If you are unsure, check the repairs@ link below for an engineer.

Dave – thanks very much for your assistance. The part I ordered from you was fitted without any trouble yesterday and the oven works fine. 😀

One point though – on taking the oven out to repair I noticed it was actually plugged in to a ringmain socket behind the oven! Is this correct ?!? I thought it had to be a 30amp cooker socket. We haven’t had any problems with the oven before and as it is a brand new house I thought this would be all part of Building Regulations. 🙄

I’d appreciate your advice again.

Thanks

Yes, normally it’s fine for a single built in oven. Check on the rating plate, it should be no more than 3kw in total 🙂

Dave – from memory it is 2.4kW so sounds OK.
Many thanks for your assistance (again).

I have the same oven with the same problem

Before I found this forum I switched it off at the mains and unscrewed the back of the oven and found wires and switches with some kind of fluffy stuff.

I then climbed in the oven and found some more screws which held a panel covering the heating element and fan.

I unscrewed the element and disconnected the 3 spade connections. The element seams OK but i guess this is still the main problem with my oven not heating up.

I plugged the element back in and screwed it back up at the back of the oven and turned it on to see if was working again 😆 no heat at all but I can see the fan spinning.

I will get a new element and try that. But what would the symptoms be if the problem was with the thermostat ❓

Re: Nardi FE0614 oven problems

you can do a simple continuity check on the element.

IIRC, you’re looking for 30 to40 ohms between the 2 terminals and infinity between either of them and the outer sheath (earth)

DO A SEARCH to check “heater resistance”- I’m too lazy, but, hey! I’m trying to help 😆

UNPLUG BEFORE YOU WORK ON THE APPLIANCE.

cheap multimeter probably available from Asda/lidl /agros /curry’s/maplin… about a fiver. or chat-up geeky neighbours 😆

the fluffy stuff was probably just that! fluff from the air circulated round the “works” to keep them from overheating.

Probably just the element that’s popped, certainly sounds like it.

It’s THIS ONE which is pretty cheap and a stock item.

But please, please don’t work on a machine while it’s live as it’s really not good for you health!
