Re: Neff fan oven elements
Hi folks.
I have never had a problem getting these fans off. (I do lots of them).
Underneath the 10mm nut is a washer with a D shaped hole in the middle to suit the shaft of the motor. I have brazed one of these washers to the end of a redundant 1/4 inch drive socket. I was able to turn the surplus material off in my lathe but it could be done by filing.
Method.
Remove 10mm nut . Lever off special washer. Squirt of WD. Leave couple of minutes. Using the special socket made in a socket handle, lock the motor shaft in position. Spin fan with finger ( sometimes tight at first but always gives in the end). Slide fan off.
Where it will fit, I always use ELE9036 (CDSL) as a replacement. Not been back to one in 2 or more years.
For the older models and the small oven I always use the genuine part, easier fit and I dont have any issues with reliabilty.
Mike.
