Smegg electric oven Errr 8 help

[Dave Benson]

My oven when you turn the temperature selection button immediately throws up an error errr8 and alarms, it is a SPF 125 oven with serial no. 31031
tried to book a repair and was told the part is a £9 resistor block which will be £100 all in fitted, but they can’t do it for 3 weeks which is obviously a long wait, can anyone shed light on the actual part I need so I can get my local man to do it ?
thanks

well guessing a bit and the fact i think you may have the model number wrong
possibly this

Sorry, you’re right it is SFP 125 ☹️
does this resistor fit the tangential cooling fan motor as I believe this is where err8 points to ?
doesnt look difficult to get to
thanks for your reply

[electrofix]

yes i think its used to slow down the fan motor and reduce noise

Ok thanks, ordered one, cheers for your help

Yes these are common to fail easy job top off and only 1 screw and 2 wire to it, dave is absolutely right it controls the speed of the fan.

It worked thanks for your help and reply’s, took about 20 minutes to do, celebrated with a pyro cycle which worked fine, happy days, £9 fix, that doesn’t happen to me that often !
