Had another look at the weekend and all looks ok. Guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and get NEFF out. Will update once an engineer has been out with what was done to repair.

Thanks Dave. I had a cursory look, but will have another look at the weekend.

beware as inducion hobs have capacitors that hold 300 volts and can still give a bad shock after switch off

I removed and reseated a small ribbon cable between the boards, which is just below the control PCB, and did a continuity check on it while giving it a few twists in case it was a small break, but it seemed to be ok. With regards to capacitors, I kept anything I was doing under the plates on or near the power boards to a minimum, and just tweaked any connections with insulated tools; I have been caught out too many times before when I used to fix computer screens and power supplies by touching the wrong parts 🙂

Re: Whirlpool AKZ151 – Temperature

Sorry should probably been a bit clearer. The cooker has a display on the front with the temperature set, and indication when it is up to temperature. If I set it to 220 degrees for example the thermometer shows approx 190-200 degrees. The oven is heating up, just not as hot as expected.

Obviously the thermometer isn’t calibrated, but it’s reading roughly correct for the ambient temperature for the room.

Re: Whirlpool AKZ151 – Temperature

Would the element still get hot if it was open circuit ?
