    Have stripped down the oven in readiness for new element –

    taken off the panel covering the fan and the fan (which was non too easy)

    The spindle nut came off ok – then the tab washer prized off with a small screwdriver.

    To get the fan off the shaft I sprayed a little WD40 and left for 1/2 hour. Then put small adjustable spanner on the flatted end of the shaft and turned the fan backwards and forwards at the same time as easing it forwards. Eventually it came off.

    Oh – remember to isolate the leccy before pulling out the old element from its mounting otherwise sparks could ensue 😳

    will let you know if it all works when the new element arrives (from here… http://www.espares.co.uk/part/cookers-a … ement.html )


    why on earth would you take the fan off to change the element

    AND… you then post a duff link for him to buy a part elsewhere

    beggars belief, it really does.. do you think this site is cost free to run? ok, so we engineers help you out, but sometimes it would be nice if just for once, you put a little bit back in to pay for the upkeep of this site

    i just cant believe it

    id be checking the defrost element and cut out first

    i have had the pcb cause that, but ive also seen the cut out do that

    the fans supposed to stop when you open the door

    and the fast freeze overrides all controls

    timers going off doesnt confirm the timer as faulty.. its common now for manufacturers to use thermal fuses/overloads or in line fuses to protect such expensive items

    you might be pleasantly surprised if you click the link to find an engineer in your area

    hope this helps

    is that the one with the ‘speed control’ pcb?

    because that often causes it
    as does duff brushes

    ok, here goes

    have you cleaned the condenser?

    secondly.. the pump on those machines have a toc fitted to the coil which goes open circuit quite quickly when they run without water

    however, it does tend to come back on when it cools
    i’d be cleaning the condenser and changing the pump base for a good quality non genuine replacement


    and id check the toc in the hose from the condenser to the tub, if there is one

    hope this helps?

    what you really need to do is disconnect the 2 heaters

    if you test them together, and one is faulty (open circuit) it will show, regardless of which one

    youll probably find the defrost heater is the culprit, as per my original post

    order the evaporator, and change the heater , sensor, and thermal fuse , because theye updated the sensor, and its best to renew everything

    it will be the condeser blocked

    youll have to take it off, its not something we can go into greatly

    but its the plastic tube attatched to the fan, and the rear of the tub, it needs cleaning out

    wear protective gloves too, theres some nasty sharp edges in there.

    is the duct metal or plastic? if its a metal duct, theres a nasty conversion to be done, which isnt cheap

    hope this helps

    youll be lucky if that spider comes of the shaft

    with the plug out, and good, protective gloves on, remove the pulley bolt,then the pulley
    on each of the 4 arms, theres 2 tx40 bolts which need to be removed.. the spider SHOuld come off the shaft

    expect it to be tight, and expect problems, its a tough job

    im not sure if anyone supplies just the bearings, i only fit them complete with the spider
