Re: NEFF B1430 oven failed with a bang
Thanks for your support
I have now replaced the thermostat ,oven element and a temperature limiter that had also failed. I took out the selector switch and the contact which controls the oven light was welded closed. I prised this apart and everything is working properly again except that when selecting the fan oven sometimes only the grill fan comes on without the oven fan. Can anyone confirm that when oven is selected both fans should operate? I suspect that there is a fault with the selector switch, though it appeared to be ok when I removed it to check the contacts. Is there any other explanation, perhaps a loose contact to the oven fan? Thanks for any help you can give.
Re: NEFF B1430 oven failed with a bang
Thanks for your comments, thankfully the Christmas turkey was cooked without problem!
I’m not convinced that the controller is damaged, the clock and minute timer still work fine. I have removed the main element and it is definitely “fried”, also tests open circuit. My instinct would be to change the thermostat and main element and if that fails get someone in to fix it.
The thermocouple wire appears to go from the temperature controller knob and fits into a tube above the main element at the back of the oven. Is that correct? Presumably you have to remove the oven from the kitchen unit to feed a new thermocouple in.
The E number of the oven is NEFF B1430BOGB/01 if that helps.
Thanks for any further advice.
