I have had one of these go down after it has only been fitted a couple of months, got to say they dont look a very substantial element.
Re: Neff butterfly oven elements
I’ve had two half moon elements go hi res giving out only about 100watts of heat, one went after 2 days the other lasted a whole week.
Good old German engineering :rotfl:Re: Neff butterfly oven elements
i have had no end of probs with these elements i have got 3 on the van waiting to go back now.
as for getting the fan off it either go’s really easy or your there an hour fighting all the way then just when you are about to give up it pops off just like that. wd40 is a must!

I wonder how many people are fitting non genuine elements? I was fitting these until I got fed up of having to go back and replace them every 2-3 months. Since I switched to fitting the genuine, touch wood no problems!
MervI don’t bother trying to get the fan blade off on its own anymore . I take off the nut , take the back panel off , take the leads off the fan motor , take the screws out of the fan motor . Back round the front , i place the wooden handle base of my plastic hammer on the fan shaft and smack the hammer head with the palm of my hand . 9 times out of 10 this is enough to dislodge the shaft from the fan blade .
I have this routine down to a T now.

REALLY 😯
A small squirt of WD40, then hold the shaft with pump pliers and spin the fan blade. A few seconds later the blade is removed.
Loads easier than removing the oven from the housing 😉

I guess its because i struggled gvetting the fan blade off of the first couple i did on my own and had to find my own way of doing it . I have tried WD40 before but was worried about the smell/smoke once the new element heated up . I suppose a long enough heating time to burn off the WD40 would be the best bet.
i’ll certainly try your method next time though 😉Re: Neff butterfly oven elements
It only takes a tiny amount to free it off. As long as you don’t go mad with the stuff no need to worry about smell/smoke 😉
